Union cabinet likely to tweak FDI policy to allow 100 per cent ownership of BPCL

In a move to sweeten the deal for bidders of sale-bound BPCL, the Union cabinet is likely to tweak the foreign direct investment (FDI) policy to allow 100 per cent ownership of the state-owned refinery by global players through the automatic route. Officials said the matter could be taken up by the cabinet at its meeting on Tuesday, which could send a positive signal to investors and fasttrack the privatisation of the state-owned refiner.

However, the policy allows for 100 per cent FDI through the automatic route in petroleum refining in the private sector.
