Our experts are happy if they obtain integrated along with e-commerce or obtain a possibility to hold up against the business practices of the shopping firms. However our team are certainly not examining modifying the policies for e-commerce. Aside from that, there is no market left where our company possess any limitations whatsoever," he mentioned.

"Room has been opened around foreign ownership. It is actually a quite open country. Cash can move in and also out practically easily without blockages, but there may be a procedure needed just to be sure there is no funds laundering or even there is actually no round-tripping of loan walking out of India and going back into the country as a tax arbitrage. A few buffers are there," he mentioned, including that today, no one is actually telling him that they are certainly not acquiring India as a result of any of the federal government plans.
