India Attracts Nearly Rs 5,000 Crore FDI Following Revised Investment Rules
India's revised foreign direct investment (FDI) framework, effective from May 1, 2026, has facilitated 29 investment proposals totaling approximately Rs 4,895.65 crore. These investments, spanning sectors such as information technology, artificial intelligence, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, data centres, and transport services, come from entities based in countries including Mauritius, the US, Korea, Japan, Singapore, Luxembourg, and the Cayman Islands. The new rules allow overseas companies with up to 10% Chinese shareholding to invest via the automatic route, removing prior government approval requirements and enhancing ease of doing business.
