Government fast-tracked strategies planning to woo Foreign Investments – Here’s what acceptable and what’s not

India can capitalize on this situation and bring in many valuable foreign investments which will open new job opportunities for Indians. For this, India is preparing a land pool nearly double the size of Luxembourg which is a small country in Europe.

The total land to be planned for luring investments to India from China is 4,61,589 hectares. These include industrial land of 115, 131 hectares in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu and some unused land in special economic zones having good access to electricity, water, and transportation.

The idea is to make the process of land acquisition hassle-free for foreign companies through government planning, which has been a major constraint for foreign investors in India. India has been in talks with many foreign countries (who now want to shift their manufacturing units from China) through its government agency – Invest India. The Central government has also urged the state governments to evolve their own programs to woo foreign companies.
