OnePlus cautious as government tweaks
FDI norms, Oppo and Vivo gung ho about
growth opportunities
The government on Wednesday eased foreign direct
investment (FDI) rules around Single Brand Retail Trade.
Premium handset maker OnePlus said it will avoid

making any strategic investments based on short term
opportunities offered by the government’s move to relax
FDI rule for foreign single-brand retailers, since it is wary
that the norms may change again.
Other brands like Oppo and Vivo, however, said the

move will accelerate growth by stimulating investments
and create more job opportunities.
Coal sector gets nod for 100% FDI
Global companies such as BHP, Peabody Energy and

Glencore can now own coal mines and carry out
related operations in India, with the cabinet approving
100% foreign direct investment under the automatic
route in mining, processing and sale.
There is a little slowing down of FDI worldwide so we

have taken some significant decisions; 100% FDI for
coal mining and all related processing activities will be
allowed under the automatic route," commerce and
railways minister Piyush Goyal said at a media
briefing.
