Government looking to ease foreign direct investment rules: FM

02 Nov 2015 Evaluate

In an indication that the government is readying a reform plan to be implemented soon, the Finance minister Arun Jaitley has said that the government was looking to ease foreign direct investment rules and reduce the number of approvals needed to speed up investment. Jaitley said that “Having opened most sectors for foreign direct investment, time has come to examine whether some of the conditionalities on which FDI investment is permitted have become anachronic. We need to cut down on the number of permissions required so that the time lag between the decision to invest and the actual investment can be shortened significantly.”

Jaitley further said the Centre issued two important ordinances including changes in arbitration law to make arbitrations cheaper, faster and free from judicial intervention. He said that a new bankruptcy law was being readied to provide for ease of exiting along with the ease of opening business. He added that when you compulsorily need a completion certificate for a building, the permission required for start of construction should be replaced by a regulatory mechanism. These additional changes will further improve India's ranking for ease of doing business,” he said while complementing states for the changing work culture.

Recently the World Bank has upped India’s ranking in the Ease of Doing Business by 12 positions. Regarding that Jaitley had said that considering the number of steps taken in the last 17 months, India’s position should have moved significantly higher. I understand that all steps have not been factored in since the World Bank criteria has a cut-off date and it also waits for announcements to translate into action before they can be factored.

The World Bank report ranked India at 130 out of 189 country on the ease of doing business, up 12 places from 142nd rank last year. In the World Economic Forum’s Global Competitiveness Report in September, India’s ranking moved up 16 positions to 55th on a global index of the world’s most competitive economies.
