Foreign Direct Investment In India

Rajendra N.Shendge

Published By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The role of FDI in the upgradation of technology, skills and managerial capabilities is now well accepted. Additional investments over and above the investments possible with the available domestic resources help in providing much needed employment opportunities. Government has put in place a liberal and investorfriendly policy for FDI under which FDI up to 100% is permitted under the automatic route in most activities/ sectors. The policy on FDI is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Initiatives in policy liberalization during the past two years include enhancement of FDI cap in domestic airlines, telecom services, permitting FDI in FM Radio broadcating and other procedural simplification measures. The Government of India has recently undertaken a comprehensive review of the FDI policy and associated procedures. As a result, a number of rationalisation measures have been undertaken which, inter alia include, dispensing with the need of multiple approvals from Government and/or regulatory agencies that exist in certain sectors, extending the automatic route to more sectors, and allowing FDI in new sectors. The abbreviation for Foreign Direct Investment this is the acquisition of controlling interest in foreign firms and businesses from one country to another country. FDI can also take in the form of constructing factories, structures and equipments (or any form of physical capital) in foreign soil. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is a means to supplement domestic investments and bridge the investment-savings gap.
