The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), under the Ministry of Commerce and Industry is all set to release the new document consolidating all Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) related issues into a master circular. The FDI inflow during April-June 2011 has registered robust growth despite the ongoing uncertainty in the major investing countries such as US and European nations.
The DIPP, the nodal government body for FDI related issues has asked for stakeholders’ views on the new document which is going to be released by the end of the next month. “The next edition of Consolidated FDI Policy Circular is due for release on September 30. This will incorporate all changes effected in FDI Policy...i.e. from April 1 to September 30,” the DIPP said.
The last edition of the DIPP’s consolidated FDI policy was released on March 31. Since March 2010, DIPP has releasing its all FDI related policies in single document, with a view of making India’s FDI policy simple and easy for investors. Before, the document had gone through many press notes issued by the DIPP and RBI regulations to understand the FDI policy. Whereas releasing the first edition of the FDI policy document, the government had said the document will be updated every six months.
Despite the ongoing uncertainty in the global economy, FDI inflow has increased by 133% to $13.44 billion in the first quarter of current financial year. This surge in the FDI inflow shows increased confidence of foreign investors in Indian economy. However, from last two financial years, India has been registering decline in FDI inflows. To break this declining trend of FDI inflow, government had taken several steps to attract FDI.
