Govt to issue clarifications on FDI policy: Commerce Minister

24 May 2013 Evaluate

Amid rising demand by foreign investors seeking clarifications on various aspects of the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy, the Government is likely to come out with a new set of clarifications on the FDI policy. Presently, there are two committees, one under Department of Economic Affairs, Secretary Arvind Mayaram and the other constituted by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) are examining different aspects of the FDI regime.

After meeting with the Finance Minister, Commerce and Industry Minister, Anand Sharma said that the Government has proposed to issue prospective clarifications on FDI policy. Both the ministers are believed to have discussed the issue of redefining FDI and foreign institutional investment (FII) to remove ambiguities. Further, they have also discussed about the committee formed by the Finance Ministry to re-look into the various aspects of the FDI policy and also review the FDI caps in various sectors.

As per the government FDI retail policy, 50 per cent of first tranche of the mandatory minimum $100 million FDI would only have to be invested in the back-end infrastructure and not in buying land, existing building or rent. Further a foreign retailer must source 30 per cent of the items that it sells in India from small industries. However, the global retailers have raised issues regarding these provisions. Meanwhile, the Department of Industry Policy and Promotion (DIPP) would soon issue clarifications on issues raised by the retailers. The government has permitted 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail.
