FDI Inflow
FDI equity inflows, amounting to Rs.16,849 crores (US $ 3,184 million), were received during April- May, 2012, in comparison to FDI equity inflows of Rs. 34,792 crores (US $ 7,785 million), received during April-May, 2011.
A statement on FDI equity inflows, sector-wise and month wise, for the months of April, 2011, May, 2011, April, 2012 and May, 2012, is enclosed at Annexure-I. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy is reviewed on an ongoing basis, with a view to making it more investor friendly. Government has put in place an investor-friendly policy on FDI, under which FDI, up to 100%, is permitted, under the automatic route, in most sectors/activities. Significant changes have been made in the FDI policy regime in the recent times, to ensure that India remains increasingly attractive and investor-friendly.
Government plays an active role in investment promotion, through dissemination of information on the investment climate and opportunities in India and by advising prospective investors about investment policies and procedures and opportunities. International Cooperation for industrial partnerships is solicited both through bilateral and multilateral arrangements. It also coordinates with apex industry associations, such as FICCI, CII and ASSOCHAM, in their activities relating to promotion of industrial cooperation, both through bilateral and multilateral initiatives intended to stimulate inflow of foreign direct investment into India.
The Government has also set up ‘Invest India’, a joint venture company between the Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion and FICCI, as a not-for-profit, single window facilitator, for prospective overseas investors and to act as a structured mechanism to attract investment.

Investor-friendly FDI policy permits automatic route access and promotes sector-wise inflows through single-window facilitation. FDI inflows for April-May 2012 are reported with sector-wise annexures, and the government states that FDI up to 100 percent is permitted in most sectors under the
automatic route. The policy is under continuous review to enhance investor access; the government promotes investment through information dissemination, advisory engagement, coordination with industry associations and international cooperation. A not-for-profit joint venture,
Invest India, is identified as a single-window facilitator to attract and assist overseas investors.
