In a significant move, the Indian government has eased foreign direct investment (FDI) norms for countries sharing land borders with India, sources revealed on Tuesday. This change impacts countries such as China, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.
Despite previous tensions between India and China, particularly after the Galwan clash in June 2020, bilateral trade has expanded substantially. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's cabinet discussed this decision, but there were no official announcements during the media briefing.
China, despite contributing minimally to India's FDI equity inflow, has grown as India's second-largest trading partner. The trade deficit has widened over the years, with exports and imports increasing, showcasing a complex economic relationship between the two nations.
