RBI notifies new FDI policy for defense, railways infra

09 Dec 2014 Evaluate

The Reserve Bank of India has notified the government's decision to increase foreign investment ceiling in defence sector and of permitting 100% FDI in railways infrastructure. After assuming power, the NDA government has reviewed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy for railways sector as well as defence.

While, the government permitted 100% FDI in railway infrastructure sector under the automatic route subject to conditions, in defense sector, it has permitted foreign investment (FDI, FIIs, RFPIs, NRIs, FVCIs and QFIs) up to 49% under government route (FIPB).

The earlier cap for the sector was at 26%. As per the revised policy for defense sector, portfolio investment (RFPI/FII/NRI/QFI) and FVCI investment will not exceed 24% of the total equity of the investee company.

Meanwhile, as per the policy for railway sector, FDI beyond 49% of the equity of the investee company in sensitive areas from security point of view will be brought before the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) for consideration on a case to case basis.
