India is one of the fastest growing economies and intends to achieve the desired growth with the help of foreign investment. Recently, India terminated all the existing Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and announced to renegotiate them based on the newly issued Model BIT. This book is the first comprehensive commentary and analyses of international investment law with focus on India. It offers detailed examination of India’s legal position in relation to protection of foreign investment and the impact of investment treaty arbitration and related jurisprudence on the country’s governance structures and regulatory framework. Additionally, it reflects upon the political and economic rationales for the policy on foreign investment. Among the matters discussed are the following: • jurisprudence of investment tribunals, with focus on cases where India was a party (White Industries v. India); • impact of the Make in India campaign and other reforms on foreign investment; • requirement of valid entry and operation of foreign investment; • prominent treatment standards such as expropriation, fair and equitable treatment, full protection and security, most favoured nation, and national treatment; • dispute resolution clauses and enforcement of investment arbitration awards; • interaction of protection of foreign investment and the Indian judiciary; and • reasons for India not joining the ICSID Convention. Given India’s position as a hugely influential player in the cross-border movement of capital, with the willingness to ‘change the rules’ on foreign investment and investment treaty arbitration worldwide, this book will prove of immeasurable value to practitioners, legal academics, interested policy makers, multinational corporations and their counsel and others interested in international investment law and India.

A comparative and historical analysis of foreign direct investment liberalization in China and India, explaining how the return of these countries' diasporas affects such liberalization.

Foreign investment is a strategic instrument of development policy. It plays an important role in the long-term economic development of a country by augmenting availability of capital, enhancing competitiveness of the domestic economy through transfer of technology, strengthening infrastructure, raising productivity, generating new employment opportunities, and boosting exports. In the wake of the economic liberalization policy that was initiated in 1991, the government of India has taken several measures to encourage foreign investment in almost all sectors of the economy. However, the emphasis has been on foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in the development of infrastructure, technological upgrade of industry, and the setting up of special economic zones. With a vast reservoir of skilled and cost-effective manpower, India is now recognized as one of the most attractive investment destinations by reputed international rating organizations. Under the current policy regime, there are three broad entry options for foreign direct investors: (a) in a few sectors, FDI is not permitted (negative list); (b) in another small category of sectors, foreign investment is permitted only until a specified level of foreign equity participation; and (c) in all other sectors, foreign investment up to 100 % of equity participation is allowed. The third category has two subsets - one consisting of sectors where automatic approval is granted for FDI (often foreign equity participation less than 100 %), and the other consisting of sectors where prior approval from the Foreign Investment Approval Board (FIPB) is required. This book deals with many aspects of FDI in India, focussing on current policies, conditions, and procedures for FDI inflows into India.

China and India have both received a great amount of focus from the foreign investors. However, there are acute differences in the implementation of the economic reforms; China made rapid progress in the manufacture of high technology products, whilst India progressed in the development of high technology. This book explores the contrasts between China and India in attracting, utilizing and related issues and discusses the challenges faced by the foreign investors.
