India as a destination for India as a destination for F.D.I. F.D.I.
Investors are generally upbeat about the country, but somewhat hesitant to invest because of a perception that India has done less than other emerging markets to reduce fundamental obstacles to investment. Companies operating in India continue to face serious business constraints.

This is partly because the government has deliberately moved to liberalize the economy at a measured pace.
FDI caps or restrictions continue to apply in a few key sectors.
Meanwhile, a variety of other factors--such as
excessive red tape, an opaque and complex tax system,
and concerns about corruption--can
dampen investors' enthusiasm. 12

Other types of regulations also continue to hamper the flow of investment.
For example, foreign companies are required to obtain a "no-objection" certificate from their existing joint-venture partner if they wish to set up a new venture in the same line of business in India.

The World Bank ranks India 121st out of 181 countries as a place to start a business.
However, India's high level of bureaucracy dampens interest from companies, which like to respond quickly to market forces, and slows down the growth of the private sector

Besides direct corporate income taxes, firms are subject to indirect taxes such as
excise duties and levies from individual states and municipalities. The indirect tax system is frighteningly complicated.
Corruption is another major deterrent. India's plethora of red tape and slow
legal system create an environment that fosters corruption.
India ranked 85th out of 180 countries in Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index 2008. 15

What is the government What is the government doing about it? doing about it? Successive Indian governments
have repeatedly emphasised their openness to foreign investment.
In 2008, the FDI limit in state-run refineries has been increased;
the FDI cap in the mining sector has been removed;
and foreign airlines have been given permission to buy stakes in certain domestic civil-aviation companies. 16

raising the upper limit on FDI in private insurance companies from 26% to 49%.
The government is also currently reviewing some aspects of FDI policy to ease bureaucratic controls and to define FDI rules more systematically.
Most foreign investment has been brought under the automatic-approval facility.

This means that companies need not obtain permission from the government or the central bank before investing;
they simply file documents ex post facto with the central bank.
The government has promised to decide on proposed FDI projects within 30 days.
The dismantling of this "licence raj" and the computerisation of certain services have helped to decrease corruption by reducing the number of interactions required between the private sector and the government. 18
