Budget 2021: Special facility to be available for FDI proposals worth over Rs 3,000 cr

GOI is planning to create a special window for strategically important investors such as sovereign wealth funds and pension funds that wish to invest over Rs 3,000 crore through a single transaction, according to sources. An announcement in this regard may happen in the Union Budget, scheduled to be presented on February 1. Some strategically important foreign investors include Canada pension fund CDPQ, GIC (Singapore), the Qatar Investment Authority, Temasek (Singapore), and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Most of them met Prime Minister Narendra Modi through virtual meetings in early November. It is learned that foreign investors showed faith in the government’s recent initiatives and reforms. Through this window, foreign funds would receive a response from the government within three days, so that such a proposal can be fast-tracked. Also, the window will act as a point of contact between investors and the various ministries and departments concerned.
