100% FDI in defence sector to increase the employment opportunity: Sitharaman

28 Jul 2016 Evaluate
Government has defended the decision to allow 100 per cent FDI through automatic route in defence and retail sectors, Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that “greater the investment, greater the opportunity for employment generation.”

Sitharaman said the new FDI policy does not compromise national security, nor does it affect employment opportunities. She said “When we say whether it is automatic or through the Government route, all processes for establishing the facts behind this investment and implications of security are duly done and diligences completed,”

She also added that government has brought simplification in the definition of technology by using the word modern, instead of phrases like state-of-the-art and cutting-edge. Further talking about the Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) approval, she said that CCS approval will not be required any more in Defence as the process of approval itself will include the Defence Ministry and the Ministry of Home Affairs, both of whom will go into all the details which will have to be looked at from the point of view of the defence of the nation, internal security and every other matter which relates to the national security.

Last month, the government has allowed 100% FDI in defence sector. It was decided that in defence sector, the first 49 percent of investment will be through automatic route. Beyond that, up to 74 percent investment will need government approval. The new norms have done away with the condition of access to ‘state-of-art’ technology in the country for FDI more than 49%.
