NEW DELHI: In a bid to further liberalize foreign direct investment (FDI) policies, India is setting the stage for a new wave of economic reforms following the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Rajesh Kumar Singh, Secretary of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), announced potential policy changes at a recent business summit, highlighting the country’s commitment to fostering a more inviting investment landscape.
Recent FDI policy relaxations, particularly in the space sector, have already set a precedent. The government now allows 100% overseas investment in satellite component manufacturing, a move expected to galvanize technological advancements and global partnerships. Singh hinted that additional sectors could see similar liberalization efforts post-elections, as the new government seeks to attract more foreign capital and stimulate economic growth.
Despite a 13% dip in FDI inflows to $32.03 billion during April-December 2023, the Indian government remains optimistic. The Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, a cornerstone of the current economic strategy, has successfully attracted Rs 1.13 lakh crore in investments..
