With a rapidly expanding and evolving market, coupled with low cost of manufacturing, India presents numerous investment opportunities for companies across the world. The steady increase in the number of foreign investments flowing into the country year after year is a testimony to the growing confidence investors have in the nation. The Government of India has further supported this cause by relaxing many rules and regulations related to FDI.
