<h1>India Tightens FDI Rules for Neighboring Countries to Prevent Opportunistic Takeovers; Blocks 320 Mobile Apps for Security.</h1> The Indian government amended its FDI policy to prevent opportunistic takeovers by entities from countries sharing land borders with India, requiring such investments to be approved by the government. This amendment, enforced through the Foreign Exchange Management (Non-Debt Instruments) Amendment Rules 2020, also applies to changes in beneficial ownership. Additionally, 320 mobile applications have been blocked under the IT Act for security reasons, with 49 apps re-blocked in 2022. China ranks 20th in FDI equity inflow in India.
