“The Government of India has reviewed the extant Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) policy for curbing opportunistic takeovers/acquisitions of Indian companies due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and amended para 3.1.1 of extant FDI policy as contained in Consolidated FDI Policy, 2017,” read an official press note.

It continued, “A non-resident entity can invest in India, subject to the FDI Policy except in those sectors/activities which are prohibited. However, an entity of a country, which shares land border with India or where the beneficial owner of an investment into India is situated in or is a citizen of any such country, can invest only under the Government route.”

According to India’s Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade, Chinese FDI from April 2000 to December 2019, in India has totaled $2.3 billion. According to a study by Gateway House, 18 out of 30 Indian unicorn companies have significant Chinese investment.
