What initiatives has the Indian government launched to boost foreign direct investment FDI

The Indian government has implemented several initiatives to boost foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country. Here are some of them:
  • Make in India: This initiative aims at promoting India as a global manufacturing hub by encouraging FDI in sectors like automobiles, textiles, defense, and electronics.
  • Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB): The FIPB was a single-window clearance system for FDI proposals, ensuring a speedy and transparent approval process.
  • Liberalized FDI Policy: The government has regularly liberalized FDI regulations by allowing higher limits and easing restrictions in sectors such as construction, aviation, retail, and defense.
  • National Investment and Manufacturing Zones (NIMZ): These zones were developed to attract FDI by offering various benefits like infrastructure support, tax incentives, and simplified procedures for setting up industries.
  • Invest India: This initiative acts as a dedicated investment promotion and facilitation agency to guide and assist foreign investors in the country.
  • Goods and Services Tax (GST): The implementation of GST has simplified the tax structure in India, making it easier for foreign investors to navigate the Indian market.
These initiatives collectively aim at creating a favorable investment climate, attracting foreign capital, and boosting economic growth in India.
