inflows in the country by raising the limit in various sectors and putting
them under automatic route.

latest reforms. These sectors include defence, single-brand retail,
construction, civil aviation and banking, among others.
DIPP wants to bring 98% of the sectors under automatic route for FDI.

“promote foreign investments in India in a focused, comprehensive and
a structured manner while acting as the first reference point to provide
quality input and support services to foreign investors“.
