In contrast to the single Chinese proposal, the government has given the green light to thirteen FDI proposals from Hong Kong. These investments collectively amount to ₹610.42 crore, indicating a substantial inflow from the Special Administrative Region of China.
Overall FDI Approvals and Top Sources
The government's approval process for FDI proposals saw a total of sixty-three proposals cleared during the fiscal year, representing a combined investment value of ₹10,292.67 crore. Among the various sources of FDI, Singapore and the United Kingdom emerged as the leading contributors in terms of monetary value, although specific figures for these countries were not detailed in the provided information.
These approvals are part of India's ongoing efforts to attract foreign capital while maintaining a cautious approach to investments from certain regions, particularly China, following geopolitical considerations and national security assessments. The low value of the approved Chinese FDI proposal suggests that such investments continue to be scrutinized closely.
