The government has eased foreign investment procedures by eliminating the previous Rs 500 million ceiling under the automated online approval system. Following a recent Cabinet decision, investments of any size in 102 business categories across seven industrial sectors—including energy, tourism and information technology—can now receive automatic approval. Investors are issued certificates via email within seven working days of submitting online applications. In the first seven months of fiscal year 2025/26, foreign investment commitments totaled Rs 40.28 billion.
