FDI upto 26% FDI is permissible in the defence sector, subject to licensing. However, wherever FDI beyond 26% is likely to result in access to modern and state-of-the-art technology into the country, decisions can be taken to allow higher FDI on a case-to-case basis with approval of the Cabinet Committee on Security.
It is difficult to assess at this stage the likely benefit to the Defence Sector.
This information was given by Minister of State for Defence Shri Jitendra Singh in a written reply to Shri Bhartruhari Mahtaband others in Lok Sabha today.
