India Inc has welcomed the government move to raise foreign direct investment (FDI) limits in key sectors such as defence and telecom but say this has no meaning if it remains a formal exercise.
Chief executives noted the opportunities are immense. For instance, the ministry of defence is likely to place orders worth $247 billion over the next five years.
With some major Indian companies such as Larsen & Toubro, Pipapav Defence, the Mahindras, Tatas and Reliance Industries planning huge investments in this sector, allowing up to 49 per cent FDI would help them raise funds, get new technology and compete with foreign companies to bag these orders. This comes at a time when Indian public sector companies are unable to meet demand and most of the orders are going out of the country, to multinational corporations.
