The document summarizes India's foreign direct investment (FDI) policies. It states that India has eased its regulatory environment since 1991 to attract more foreign investments and aims to supplement domestic capital, technology, and skills. There are two routes for FDI - the automatic route, which allows up to 100% foreign investment without approval in most sectors, and the government route, which requires prior approval for sectors like defense, media, and telecom. The document lists the sectors that fall under each route.
