after US, China and Japan.

the bigger, rich and consuming shall become ‘Market: India’.
• The more the FDI, the more the technology and the more the state of art products.
• The more the FDI, the more the visitors, the better the ‘Tourist Flow’.
• The more the FDI, the more the banks, insurance companies, service providers, the better
the ‘Quality of Service’.

area of 20,000 square meters, down from a previous 50,000 threshold. The minimum capital investment
by foreign companies has also been halved to $5 million.
• Large scale introduction of the Global concept of ‘Industrial Corridors’ linked with ‘Freight Corridors’ and
‘SEZs’. Such as ‘DMIC’ (Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor) to start with is already ongoing.
