India is characterized by consistent growth performance and abundant highly skilled manpower that provides enormous opportunities for investments. India is the largest democracy and tenth largest economy in the world. India has a federal system of Government with clear demarcation of powers between the Central Government and the State Governments. India provides a liberal, attractive, and investor friendly investment climate.

India has the most liberal and transparent policies on foreign direct investment (FDI) among major economies of the world, wherein 100% FDI is allowed under the automatic route in all sectors/activities except in few areas, which require prior approval. Under automatic route, investors are required to only notify the Reserve Bank of India within 30 days of receipt of inward remittances. India has undergone a paradigm shift owing to its competitive stand in the world.
