India Business News: NEW DELHI: The government's recent decision to allow 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the manufacturing of satellite components has been welcom.
India s private space industry has welcomed the easing of its Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy, describing it as a "pivotal move" to boost investments and increase the country s share in the global space economy. Industry leaders believe that the government s decision to permit 100% overseas investment in satellite component manufacturing and up to 49% FDI through the automatic route for launch vehicles and associated systems or subsystems has provided much-needed clarity for the sector.
The government on Wednesday eased Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) norms in the space sector with an aim to attract overseas players and private companies into the segment. The decision was taken at the Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
