Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
What is Foreign Direct Investment Facilitation?
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) refers to investment made by a foreign entity or individual into an Indian business, typically in exchange for equity ownership, along with an element of management interest or control. FDI Facilitation involves helping Indian businesses identify and connect with suitable foreign investors, structure the investment in compliance with India's FDI policy and RBI/FEMA regulations, and complete the necessary regulatory filings.
