India Prepares FDI Policy Clarifications for Investors from Land Border Countries
India is preparing clarifications to its foreign direct investment (FDI) policy to provide clearer guidance for investors from countries sharing land borders, including those using Hong Kong as a base. These clarifications, expected in a FAQ format, address issues related to Press Note 3 of 2020, which requires prior government approval for certain investments. New Delhi updated procedures in May to expedite processing for select sub-sectors within 60 days, though investors report extensive documentation requirements that can delay applications.
