Investment Approvals

Automatic Route: No government pre-approval needed in eligible sectors such as manufacturing, telecom, and IT—FDI up to 100% is allowed.

Government Approval Route: Required for sensitive sectors like multi-brand retail, pharmaceuticals, and defense; approval through DPIIT and RBI is mandatory.

Who can apply?

  • Foreign investors from permissible countries/entities

  • Indian entities accepting foreign capital

  • Startups, LLPs, corporations, and venture funds seeking FDI or external investment

What you need to begin:

  • Clear sector classification and investment structure

  • Relevant permissions or clearances (e.g., security screening for defense or media)

  • Documentation: investor and investee entity charters, audited financials, fund flow diagrams, and FDI proposal summary.
