Foreign Investment in Oil And Natural Gas Projects |
| As per extant Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) policy, FDI, up to
100%, is permitted, under the automatic route, for exploration activities of oil
and natural gas fields, infrastructure related to marketing of petroleum
products and natural gas, marketing of natural gas and petroleum products,
petroleum product pipelines, natural gas/pipelines, LNG regasification
infrastructure, market study and formulation and petroleum refining in the
private sector, subject to the existing sectoral policy and regulatory framework
in the oil marketing sector and the policy of the Government on private
participation in exploration of oil and the discovered fields of national oil
companies. Extant FDI policy, therefore, does not envisage Government approval for bringing FDI into companies carrying on these activities. |

Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteIt is a welcome move. Also industries into biomass power sector should also allowed to acquire land under Automatic Route to grow their raw meterials, i.e BioMass. Currently they are not in a position to grow biomass plantations as plantation activity is under prohibited sector.
