Review of the policy on foreign direct investment in the Multi Brand Retail Trading Sector- amendment of paragraph 6.2.16.5(2) of ‘Circular 1 of 2013-Consolidated FDI Policy’
The Government has decided to incorporate the following definition of ‘group company’ in the FDI Policy contained in ‘Circular 1 of 2013 – Consolidated FDI Policy’, effective from 05-04-2013.
This Department has been receiving a large number of requests from various stakeholders seeking clarifications on the provisions of FDI policy. It is noted that many of the requests for clarification do not provide specific/ adequate details of the proposal. As a result, this Department is unable to take decision/ provide clarifications on such references.
The present consolidation subsumes and supersedes all Press Notes ‘Press Releases’ Clarifications’ Circulars issued by DIPP, which were in force as on April 4, 2013 and reflects the FDI Policy as on April 5 2013. This Circular accordingly will take effect from April 5, 2013. Reference to any statute or legislation made in this Circular shall include modifications, amendments or re-enactments thereof.

Policy for FDI in Commodity Exchanges- At present, foreign investment, within a composite (FDI & FII) cap of 49%, under the Government approval route-i.e. through the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB)-is permitted in commodity exchanges. Within this overall limit of 49%, investment by Registered FIIs, under the Portfolio Investment Scheme (PIS) is limited to 23% and investment under the FDI Scheme is limited to 26%. It has now been decided to liberalise the policy and to mandate the requirement of Government approval only for FDI component of the investment. Such investment by FIIs, in commodity exchanges, will, therefore, no longer require Government approval. This change aligns the policy for foreign investment in commodity exchanges, with that of other infrastructure companies in the securities markets, such as stock exchanges, depositories and clearing corporations.
