- (d) : To attract more FDI, the Government has put in place an investor friendly FDI policy, wherein most of the sectors, except certain strategically important sectors, are open for 100% FDI under the automatic route. The Government has implemented several transformative FDI reforms across sectors such as Defence, Pension, Other Financial Services, Asset reconstruction  Companies,  Broadcasting,  Pharmaceuticals,  Single  Brand  Retail  Trading, Construction & Development, Civil Aviation, Power Exchanges, e-commerce activities, Coal Mining,  Contract Manufacturing, Digital Media,  Insurance Intermediaries, Insurance, Petroleum & Natural Gas and Telecom, etc. Further, the Government reviews the FDI policy on an ongoing basis and makes significant changes from time to time, to ensure that India remains an attractive & investor friendly destination.

Steps taken to promote FPI inflows include enhancing ease of doing business for FPIs by simplifying  the  on-boarding    &  registration  procedure,  permitting  FPIs  to  participate  in Exchange Traded Commodity Derivatives in India, enabling participation by Non-Resident Indians  (NRIs),  Overseas  Citizens  of  India  (OCIs)  and  Resident  Indian  (RI)individuals  in SEBI registered FPIs based in International Financial Services Centres in India and provision of a framework for reclassification of FPI investment to FDI.
