India permits foreign investment in rail market


India permits foreign investment in rail market

The Indian rail market worth ranging $11.6 billion (Rs 700 billion) is now available to global manufacturers and investors, following cabinet approval for so-called Foreign Direct Invesment (FDI).

Foreign participation allowed by FDI in a range of activities consisting high-speed, suburban corridor schemes, signalling, and infrastructure projects, as well as rolling stock manufacturing, but it eliminates investment in rail functions and safety. Instructions to foreign investors interested in FDI are being sustained and will be announced soon. It is expected that the inculcation of foreign funds and technology will boost the execution of big projects tender such as the long anticipated scheme to construct electric and diesel locomotive factories at Madhepura and Marhoura respectively in the eastern state of Bihar. Requests for proposals (RFP) to construct the two factories are expected to be published soon.Read complete story at http://www.tendersontime.com/blog-detail/india-permits-foreign-investment-rail-market-265.php
