The document summarizes the Indian cabinet's decision to allow foreign direct investment in multi-brand retail. The cabinet will permit FDI of up to 51% in multi-brand retail trading with government approval. It aims to reduce food waste and losses for farmers by developing supply chain infrastructure like cold storage. It also expects to generate millions of new jobs and ensure better prices for farmers through direct procurement. However, FDI in multi-brand retail will only be permitted in cities with a population over 1 million.
