What is FDI?
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is when an individual or a company from one country invests directly into a business, industry, or asset in another country with the intention of establishing a lasting interest and significant influence. It means foreign investors put money into Indian companies, factories, or projects, not just in the form of buying shares, but also by setting up offices, plants, or acquiring controlling stakes.
