For instance, the Government of India has allowed 100% foreign direct investment (FDI) in the electronics hardware manufacturing sector under the automatic route, which has led to the increase in the investment by the foreign players in the Asia-Pacific region. Furthermore, as per the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), during the years from April 2000 to June 2019, FDI inflows into the electronics sector were valued at around USD 2.45 billion.
