The Big Picture - Wooing FDI

Foreign Direct Investment or FDI is a major driver of economic growth and is largely a matter of private business decisions. FDI inflows depend on a number of factors sub as availability of natural resources , infrastructure , market size , general investment climate etc.

Govt of India has put in place a liberal and transparent policy for FDI with most sectors open to FDI under the automatic route. To further attract more investors the department for promotion of Industry and Internal trade and the investment promotion agency Invest India have joined hands to put in place a new mechanism under which those looking to invest 500 million dollars or more will have a designated person to facilitate all clearances .

So how will this policy help in attracting more FDI and what more needs to be done on this front .

they way aman aggarwal nods his head makes me feel that he is only one who knows everything . like a over smart kid sitting on first bench .

[shubh_]

Observed carefully full of new vocabulary 😌💫additional favour

[tintintuntun]

A good anchor is not necessarily the one who is knowledgeable or who is excellent orator but the one who allows the panelists to express the best they have and to some extent moderates time among them.

Best big picture episode of the week so far. Thanks for this.

[abhishekarya]

Mr. Jindal was exceptional! Please try to bring him in for more debates and Mr. Dua was as always phenomenal.

[AjaySingh.]

[tejaslondhe]

Mr. Aman Agarwal was like kid who rote learned the poem and saying at poem recitation test. Same point again and again.

[lioness]

I think people commenting on Mr aggarwal should realise....He is giving us some positive points for answer writing too.... Don't criticize for the sake of it

[ravitheexplorer]

We must develop our income resources in a contry they may be natural and man made instead of depend upon other countries, invest on small Industry, small cottages industry.

[harshgautam]

i request not to call Mr aman aggarwal

[indiafirst.]

A.K.Bhattacharya sir is missing. FDI inflows will be more to achieve 3 rd largest economy.

[achu]

Agar ye wal nahi hota this would have been a better discussion

[ankitdhakad]

The way he is nodding head is exactly what our government do, nod yes to every problem but utter or do something totally opposite

[ayushtripathi]

Why we not reduce taxes to 10 % when we would be flooded with FDI
Then no scheme no subsidy no healthcare scheme then they will be able to get in nutritious foodstuff and not fall ill
And only then govt would would be focussing upon quality infra building .

[Neelinmact]

They can let us make in India what we get from China Also they can invest in make in India defence and creates a market for us to export military equipmentAlso India is too slow. If we do not speed up modernization then we are screwed
