FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (FDI). Government of India facilitates Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and investment from Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) including Overseas Corporate Bodies (OCBs), predominantly owned by them, to complement and supplement domestic investment. Foreign technology induction is encouraged both through FDI and through foreign technology collaboration agreements. Foreign Direct Investment and Foreign technology collaboration agreements can be approved either through the automatic route under powers delegated to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) or otherwise by the Government.
FOREIGN INVESTMENT PROMOTION BOARD (FIPB)
The FDI/ Foreign technology collaboration agreement proposals, which do not conform, to the guidelines for automatic approval of Government of India, require Government approval through the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB). The Government has set up a special 'Foreign Investment Promotion Board' (FIPB) as a fast track mechanism to invite and facilitate foreign investments in large projects in India, which are considered beneficial to the Indian economy.
