Government Reviews Proposal to Ease FDI Norms for Downstream Investments
The government is considering easing foreign direct investment (FDI) norms for downstream investments to attract more overseas funds and create jobs. This proposal is under inter-ministerial review. Most sectors already allow 100% FDI under the automatic route, except some strategic areas. India has seen significant FDI inflows, totaling USD 843 billion between 2014-15 and 2025-26, a 169% increase over the previous 12 years. Continuous policy reviews aim to maintain India's investor-friendly environment.
