consider an investment to be a foreign direct
investment if it accounts for at least 10 percent
of the foreign firm's voting stock of shares.
• However, many countries set a higher threshold
because 10 percent is often not enough to
establish effective management control of a
company or demonstrate an investor's lasting
interest.

Government of India’s FDI policy. The FDI guidelines
