The Union Cabinet has approved changes to the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Policy, and increased avenues and limits for foreign investment in certain sectors. These are:

– construction development projects
– civil aviation
– petroleum & natural gas
– commodity exchanges
– credit information companies
– mining
– industrial parks.

For details, see reports in Business Standard and LiveMint.

One sector that is conspicuous by its absence in the recent review is retail trade.
