Foreign investment in railway infrastructure permitted automatically, subject to sectoral guidelines and security review for sensitive cases. Regulations amend Schedule 1: Annexure A now lists specified sectors prohibited for FDI, and Annexure B redefines 'Infrastructure' and 'Common Facilities' for industrial parks. Multiple schedule entries are renumbered and a new entry permits foreign investment on an automatic route in a range of railway infrastructure activities, subject to ministry guidelines and case-by-case security review for investments in sensitive areas. The amendments are effective from August twenty-seventh, twenty fourteen, with a clarification that no person will be adversely affected by retrospective effect.
