Foreign Direct Investment

The 1991 Industrial Policy made it possible to liberalize the Indian financial Economy. This policy paved a path for billions of dollars to reach India in the form of Foreign Direct Investment {FDI}.
Foreign investments that started with acquiring international companies in the services and IT related sector are now spreading out to other sectors like pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and auto components.

The major source through which Indian Companies can get Foreign Direct Investment is via reinvested earnings and equity of FDI acquisitions and companies.
Many sectors are partially or fully receptive to foreign investment except the government-controlled ones like railways, defense, and atomic energy. However, with the passage of time, most Indian companies are now acquiring international companies. Some of the recent acquisitions are Virgin Radio, Corus, and Jaguar. You can only find a few businesses that have 100% Foreign Direct Investment restriction. Even the ones that have 100% FDI permission still have to pass through an automatic approval procedure.

As a result, companies can only secure FDI through preferential placements, financial collaborations, capital markets, joint ventures and technical collaborations.
