India has formally raised the cap on foreign direct investment (FDI) in the defence sector. New FDI regulations also introduce a ‘national security’ clause to heighten scrutiny of related investment proposals.
The government’s Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DIPPT) said in a press note issued on 17 September that it has lifted the limit on defence FDI from 49% to 74% of a local firms’ equity. The limit is applicable for investors under the “automatic route”, which means government approval is not required.

However, the DIPPT press note also included a list of “other conditions” for such foreign investment including a new clause citing national security.
“Foreign investments in the defence sector shall be subject to scrutiny on grounds of national security, and [the] government reserves the right to review any foreign investment in the defence sector that affects or may affect national security,” states the clause.
