The year 1999 witnessed a sharp upward movement in FII inflow. During the Kargil war (May 1999), FIIs made net investment to the tune of Rs 17 bn. This led to 19% rise in the Sensex despite border tensions. The Kargil issue and the elections in the month of September /October increased the government's non-plan expenditure. This pushed India's fiscal deficit to 5.1% of GDP from 4.7% in 1998. Nevertheless, the Indian software boom started in 1999, making our markets attractive for FIIs.
