Dear Clients and Readers,
After a turbulent year for India’s economy, strong quarterly growth figures and
encouraging political developments appear set to
. Driven by the expectation
that Indian exports and investment demandwill increase steadily alongside a pick-up
in the global economy, Goldman Sachs and the Reserve Bank of India expect GDP
growthwill reach 5.5 percent in 2014 andmaintain a pace of about 7.5 percent over the
next few years. India’s current account deficit sits at its lowest level in more than four
years, and corporate confidence in the country surpasses both China and the United
States according to Ernst & Young’s annual Capital Confidence Barometer Report.
Making a strategic and informed decision about investing in India requires both an understanding of the diverse
options for investment in the country, and recent changes in FDI policy that open several key business sectors
to increased foreign investment.
In this issue of India BriefingMagazine, we explore important amendments to India’s foreign investment policy,
and outline the various investment options for business establishment— including the establishment of a
wholly owned subsidiary company in sectors that permit 100 percent foreign direct investment. Finally, we
explore several taxes that apply to wholly owned subsidiary companies and their operators.
