India has relaxed foreign direct investment (FDI) rules across several industries, including telecoms, single brand retail and oil and gas, in a bid to lure capital inflows, prop up a sliding currency and accelerate growth. India’s weakest economic growth in a decade and a record high current account deficit have made the rupee the worst-performing emerging Asian currency so far this year. The changes will have to be approved by India’s cabinet before they become law, although that is seen as a formality. Here are the sectors in which FDI caps will be revised: </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Telecoms </strong></div>
<div>
The FDI cap on the telecoms sector was raised to 100 percent from 74 percent. While a foreign company can buy up to a 49 percent stake in an Indian phone carrier without seeking approval from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board(FIPB), any investment beyond that will need the country’s foreign investment regulator’s nod. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Petroleum and Natural Gas </strong></div>
<div>
The FDI cap for the sector was left unchanged at 49 percent, but foreign investment up to 49 percent will no longer require FIPB approval. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Insurance </strong></div>
<div>
Foreign investment up to 49 percent in insurers will not require the government’s approval. The foreign investment limit in the sector is currently capped at 26 percent. A bill to raise the cap to 49 percent is stuck in parliament. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Defence Production </strong></div>
<div>
There was effectively no change in the FDI cap of 26 percent in the defence sector, although trade minister Anand Sharma said a cabinet panel would consider any FDI proposal for investment above 26 percent in state-of-the-art technology. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Retail </strong></div>
<div>
FDI up to 49 percent in the single-brand retail sector will no longer require the FIPB’s approval. The government also said it will issue clarifications soon on its FDI policy for supermarkets. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Commodity, Power and Stock Exchanges </strong></div>
<div>
Foreign investment of up to 49 percent will not require the government’s approval. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Asset Reconstruction Companies </strong></div>
<div>
India will allow FDI up to 49 percent with no government approval, but foreign investors will need FIPB approval to buy a bigger stake in an Indian asset reconstruction company. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Courier Services </strong></div>
<div>
Foreign investors can now invest up to 100 percent in the courier services sector and will not need government approval. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Credit Information Companies </strong></div>
<div>
India will allow up to 74 percent FDI in credit information companies, with no need to seek government approval for investments up to that level. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Civil Aviation and Media </strong></div>
<div>
The government left FDI caps in civil aviation and media unchanged at 49 percent and 26 percent respectively. </div>

India has relaxed foreign direct investment (FDI) rules across several industries, including telecoms, single brand retail and oil and gas, in a bid to lure capital inflows, prop up a sliding currency and accelerate growth. India’s weakest economic growth in a decade and a record high current account deficit have made the rupee the worst-performing emerging Asian currency so far this year.

<div>
India has relaxed foreign direct investment (FDI) rules across several industries, including telecoms, single brand retail and oil and gas, in a bid to lure capital inflows, prop up a sliding currency and accelerate growth. India’s weakest economic growth in a decade and a record high current account deficit have made the rupee the worst-performing emerging Asian currency so far this year. The changes will have to be approved by India’s cabinet before they become law, although that is seen as a formality. Here are the sectors in which FDI caps will be revised: </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Telecoms </strong></div>
<div>
The FDI cap on the telecoms sector was raised to 100 percent from 74 percent. While a foreign company can buy up to a 49 percent stake in an Indian phone carrier without seeking approval from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board(FIPB), any investment beyond that will need the country’s foreign investment regulator’s nod. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Petroleum and Natural Gas </strong></div>
<div>
The FDI cap for the sector was left unchanged at 49 percent, but foreign investment up to 49 percent will no longer require FIPB approval. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Insurance </strong></div>
<div>
Foreign investment up to 49 percent in insurers will not require the government’s approval. The foreign investment limit in the sector is currently capped at 26 percent. A bill to raise the cap to 49 percent is stuck in parliament. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Defence Production </strong></div>
<div>
There was effectively no change in the FDI cap of 26 percent in the defence sector, although trade minister Anand Sharma said a cabinet panel would consider any FDI proposal for investment above 26 percent in state-of-the-art technology. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Retail </strong></div>
<div>
FDI up to 49 percent in the single-brand retail sector will no longer require the FIPB’s approval. The government also said it will issue clarifications soon on its FDI policy for supermarkets. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Commodity, Power and Stock Exchanges </strong></div>
<div>
Foreign investment of up to 49 percent will not require the government’s approval. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Asset Reconstruction Companies </strong></div>
<div>
India will allow FDI up to 49 percent with no government approval, but foreign investors will need FIPB approval to buy a bigger stake in an Indian asset reconstruction company. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Courier Services </strong></div>
<div>
Foreign investors can now invest up to 100 percent in the courier services sector and will not need government approval. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Credit Information Companies </strong></div>
<div>
India will allow up to 74 percent FDI in credit information companies, with no need to seek government approval for investments up to that level. </div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
<strong>Civil Aviation and Media </strong></div>
<div>
The government left FDI caps in civil aviation and media unchanged at 49 percent and 26 percent respectively. </div>
