Question

what are the ristrictions of foreign direct investment
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Restrictions on foreign ownership are the most obvious barriers to inward FDI. They typically take the form of limiting the share of companies' equity capital in a target sector that non-residents are allowed to hold, e.g. to less than 50 per cent, or even prohibit any foreign ownership.

Answer 2

The present policy prohibits FDI in the following sectors:

• Gambling and Betting.
• Lottery business (including government/ private lottery, online lotteries etc)
• Activities /sectors not open to private sector investment (eg, atomic energy /railways)
• Retails trading (expect single-brand product retailing)
