## ANSWER

## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री ( श्री णिणिन प्रसाद ) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)

- (a) to (c): As  the  national  investment  promotion  and  facilitation  agency,  Invest  India supports India's broader economic vision, bridging the gap between potential international  investors  and  the  country's  diverse  economic  landscape.  The purpose of setting up of Invest India is to act as a first point of reference for any Investor  interested  in  India.  It  also  undertakes  promotional  work  and  attract Investment  especially  by  expanding  global  investor  awareness  beyond  the metros. While Invest India plays a facilitating role, the investments fundamentally reflect the broader economic conditions, policy frameworks, and inherent potential of the Indian market. The detail of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) data facilitated by Invest India during the last five years is not maintained by  DPIIT.  However,  as  per  data  provided  by  Invest  India,  from  Apr'23  -  till Mar'25 (22.03.2025), Invest India facilitated projects totalling USD 4.1billion of indicative investment, with USD  3.03billion attributed to foreign direct investment by grounding 40 FDI projects. The details are at Annexure-I.
- (d): The Government of India, through Invest India and other organizations, provide an enabling eco-system to attract more FDI in the country through appropriate policy  interventions.  The  Government  has  put  in  place  an  investor-friendly policy, wherein most sectors except certain strategically important sectors, are open for 100% FDI under the automatic route. More than 90% of the FDI inflow is received under the automatic route. India continues to take progressive steps to attract global investors by raising FDI limits, removing regulatory barriers and taking other steps towards ease of doing business, developing infrastructure and improving business environment. Apart from the above, the Government reviews  FDI  policy  on  a  regular  basis  to  make  it  more  investor-friendly  and remove the policy bottlenecks that are hindering investment inflows into the country.

Further, Invest India maintains the National Single Window System (NSWS) which is a one-stop digital platform for investors to obtain clearances across Central  and  State  Governments.  It  reduces  regulatory  bottlenecks  and enhances transparency for businesses.

- (e): Whenever a request for meeting with CEO/Managing Director, Invest India is received  from  people  representative  office,  priority  is  accorded  taking  into account the availability of the requester and the CEO & MD Invest India.
