<h1>Foreign investment cap in telecom: automatic route allowed to a defined threshold; additional investment subject to prior approval.</h1> The policy permits full foreign ownership in telecom subject to a two tier entry regime: foreign investment up to a defined automatic threshold is allowed without prior approval, while investment beyond that threshold requires prior government approval, and all investments must comply with security and license conditions notified by the telecommunications authority; the measure was formalised by an official press note following inter ministerial consultation.
