The Department of Industrial Promotion and Policy (DIPP) has issued fresh guidelines for foreign investments in sectors with caps, such as defence production, civil aviation, broadcasting, insurance and telecoms, which require approval from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
Downstream investment in Indian companies by investing companies is now subject to the guidelines in press notes 2 and 3 of 2009. Press note 2 lays down guidelines for the calculation of total foreign investment, which includes foreign direct investment (FDI) and indirect foreign investments (FIDI) across all sectors and activities.
