In a move aimed at boosting the space sector, the Indian government has relaxed Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) rules, allowing 100% overseas investment in the production of satellite components. The decision, approved in a Cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, divides the satellite sub-sector into three activities with specified limits for foreign investment.
