Government Proposes Raising FDI Approval Limit to Rs 15,000 Crore and Easing Rules
The Indian government is considering raising the foreign direct investment (FDI) approval limit for the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) from Rs 5,000 crore to Rs 15,000 crore. This change aims to expedite approval processes by allowing ministries to clear larger investments without CCEA referral. Additionally, the government is exploring relaxed rules for downstream foreign investments. These proposals, currently under inter-ministerial review, align with efforts to attract more foreign capital and support economic growth.
