Today, India is the fastest growing economy among major Nations. The World Bank has improved India's ranking by 12 places in the 2016 Study of Ease of Doing Business. FDI has gone up by 40%. Several Global Institutions have projected India as the leading destination for FDI in the World. IMF has branded India as the brightest spot in the Global Economy whereas the World Bank projects India's growth at 7.5% and even better.
2. With coming of NDA Government to power, Shri Narendra Modi has expressed his commitment to poverty elimination, inclusive development [make India a developed Country] and also to make India a Global Manufacturing Hub. Being aware of the constraint of financial resources for fast tracking the development process, a series of Economic Reforms and a number of measures to improve the Ease of Doing Business in the country have been set in motion. A number of stalled projects have been de-bottlenecked and fast-tracked. The results are showing up.
3. However, the commitments to the millions of youth of the Country to provide them remunerative employment or entrepreneurial opportunities is not yet fully realized. With this in mind, Prime Ministter Mr. Modi launched the Campaigns like 'Make In India' and 'Skill India'. The latest in the series is the upcoming 'Start-up India' initiative. To further boost this entire investment environment and to bring in foreign investments in the country, the Government has brought in FDI related Reforms and liberalisation touching upon 15 major Sectors of the Economy. The salient measures are:
i.Limited Liability Partnerships, downstream investment and approval conditions.
ii.Investment by companies owned and controlled by Non-Resident Indians (NRIs)
iii.Establishment and transfer of ownership and control of Indian companies
iv.Agriculture and Animal Husbandry
v.Plantation
vi.Mining and mineral separation of titanium bearing minerals and ores, its value addition and integrated activities
vii.Defence
viii.Broadcasting Sector
ix.Civil Aviation
x.Increase of sectoral cap
xi.Construction development sector
xii.Cash and Carry Wholesale Trading / Wholesale Trading (including sourcing from MSEs)
xiii.Single Brand Retail Trading and Duty free shops
xiv.Banking-Private Sector; and
xv.Manufacturing Sector
4. The Crux of these reforms is to further ease, rationalise and simplify the process of foreign investments in the country and to put more and more FDI proposals on automatic route instead of Government route where time and energy of the investors is wasted. It is one more proof of minimum government and maximum governance. Further refining of foreign investments in key Sectors like Construction where 50 million houses for poor are to be built. Opening up the manufacturing Sector for wholesale, retail and E-Commerce so that the Industries are motivated to Make In India and sell it to the customers here instead of importing from other countries. The proposed reforms also enhance the limit of Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) from current Rupees Three thousand crores to Five thousand crores. The proposal also contains many other long pending corrections including those being felt by the limited liability partnerships as well as NRI owned Companies who seem motivated to invest in India. Few other proposals seek to enhance the sectoral Caps so that foreign investors don't have to face fragmented ownership issues and get motivated to deploy their resources and technology with full force.
5. With this round of Reforms, the Government has demonstrated that India is unstoppable on the path of Economic Development. Prime Minister has reiterated that Economic Wellbeing of the people of India is the main Task before him. It is also clear that India is a Country which is more than ready to integrate with the Global Economy because it feels that the Fruits of Development will reach to the common man only if there is Development. Above all every citizen in all nooks and corners must have a stake.
6. Along with these sectoral reforms, DIPP has also been advised to consolidate all FDI related instructions contained in various notifications & press notes and prepare a booklet so that the investors don't have to refer to several documents of different timeframes. This exercise of PM, Shri Narendra Modi is intended on the one hand to further open up the Sectors for more foreign investments in the country and also to make it easy to invest in India. In the normal course, the Policy corrections in 16 areas would have taken at least one year to process and get approvals. Thus, this action is a very dynamic step in terms of integrating the Indian Economy with the rest of the World for attracting investments and technology and generating employment for enhancement of income of the people of India.

Modi gets his groove back: Govt set to announce FDI in 16 sectors : The Modi government gets its groove back. The NDA government which swept the Lok Sabha elections in 2014 on the 'development' platform but was waylaid by the divisive politics of the fringe, will shortly announce foreign direct investment in at least 15 sectors including construction.
The government hopes to ally concerns that reforms will continue, a worry that has plagued voters.
As many as 15 sectors could be opened up more in one of the biggest review of the foreign investment regime. The government has been working towards simplifying the FDI policy.
The Economic Times reported that India had got FDI of $19.39 billion in the April-June period, according to data up 29.5% over the year earlier. The Modi government has been pushing hard to drum up overseas investment, easing FDI regulations in various sectors including the railways, medical devices, insurance, pension, construction and defence.
The government has eased FDI norms in 15 major sectors, raises FIPB approval limit to Rs 5,000 crore from Rs 3,000 crore.

I know the existing plantation owners can be rather a pain for the workers. Maybe a corporate entry can shake things up.

Existing plantation owners are stuck in the tea growing mindset and do not venture towards Cocoa farming due to inexperience.But acre to acre,cocoa gives more return than tea farms.These is where the technology and experience of corporate comes in.
