FDI equity inflows for the last three years and the current year, sector-wise and State-wise are at Annexure-I & II respectively.

As on 24.11.2014, total 58 proposals are pending with Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) and the efforts are being made to clear all the proposals at the earliest.

Union Cabinet has considered the proposal to liberalize the FDI policy on Construction Development Sector to ease norms concerning minimum capitalization, minimum area, lock-in period and to incentivize investment in affordable housing. These measures are expected to result in enhanced inflows and attract best global practices in the Construction Development Sector.  

Review of the FDI policy of the country is an ongoing process and Government has taken a number of steps in the recent past to make India an attractive investment destination.

Government has put in place an investor-friendly policy on FDI, under which FDI up to 100% is permitted under the automatic route in most sectors/activities. Significant changes have been made in the FDI policy regime in the recent times to ensure that India remains increasingly attractive and investor-friendly.

Government plays an active role in investment promotion through dissemination of information on the investment climate and opportunities in India and by advising prospective investors about investment policies and procedures and opportunities. International Cooperation for industrial partnerships is solicited both through bilateral and multilateral arrangements. It also coordinates with apex industry associations, such as FICCI, CII and ASSOCHAM, in their activities relating to promotion of industrial cooperation, both through bilateral and multilateral initiatives intended to stimulate inflow of foreign direct investment into India.

The Government has also set up ‘Invest India’, a joint venture company between the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion and FICCI, as a not-for-profit, single window facilitator, for prospective overseas investors and to act as a structured mechanism to attract investment.
