FDI projects under revised framework

Notes

• The Ministry of Commerce and Industry reported 29 FDI projects worth ₹4,895.65 crore under a revised investment framework.
• The revised framework, an amendment to Press Note 3 of 2020, allows firms with up to 10% ownership from land-border countries (LBCs) to invest via the automatic route.
• Prior to the amendment, any FDI from countries sharing a land border with India required mandatory government approval regardless of the percentage of beneficial ownership.
• The amendment aims to improve the ease of doing business, reduce transaction time, and provide greater certainty to foreign investors.
• Investment proposals were received from entities based in Mauritius, the U.S., the Republic of Korea, Japan, Singapore, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands.
• Key sectors receiving investment include information technology, artificial intelligence, information and communication, manufacturing, transport, pharmaceuticals, and data centres.
