FDI Norms By JV And Wholly-Owned Subsidiary To Be Relaxed

And thus to simplify rules per se restrictions on foreign direct investment (FDI) by joint ventures (JVs) or wholly-owned subsidiaries (WOS) of an Indian company, there will be enacted some business-friendly changes that would enable ease of flow of foreign funds into legitimate businesses. Further, these investments shall not be labeled as "suspect" involving round tripping of funds.

So, as the rules would be simplified foreign funds such as through FDI and ODI will form the part of the automatic route that would not require prior approval of the RBI.
The changes are all the more called for amid economic slowdown in India and lack of investment by corporate.

Also, there has been put forth ways to increase exports from the country and in the report by HLAG led by economist it has been suggested to bring in some phenomenal changes in FDI regulations so that foreign funds could be mobilized into legitimate and bonfide businesses in India.
