State  Governments and thereby grow the pipeline of investible projects  in  India  and  increase  domestic  investments  and  FDI inflows. Investment outreach is continuously being done through respective sector specific Ministries/Departments, State Governments and Indian Missions abroad. Investment identification of potential investors, handholding and investment facilitation is done through Invest India.
