Which categories are included in the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy in India?
Foreign investment into India falls under one of two foreign direct investment (FDI) routes:
- Government route: For investment in business sectors requiring prior approval from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
- Automatic route: For investment in business sectors that do not require prior approval from the government, but the filing of a notification after the incorporation of the company and issue of initial shares.
