New Delhi: India’s finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman today announced the hike in the Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) limit in the nation’s defence sector to 74 per cent from the existing 49 per cent automatic route, as a measure to tide over the economic slowdown in view of the COVID-19 pandemic lock down.
This was the fourth day that Sitharaman was addressing the media since India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a Rs 20 lakh crore ($265 billion) or 10 per cent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product as the economic stimulus.
