What is the limit of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in non – news and non – current affairs publications as per the acceptance of the union:
(A) Twenty percent
(B) Thirty percent
(C) Twenty Five percent
(D) Twenty Six percent
Correct Ans: (D)
Explanation:
The Union Government allows Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in non-news and non-current affairs publications up to 26%. This policy ensures that foreign investment can support the growth of the media industry in India while maintaining control over critical content such as news and current affairs, which are restricted to protect national interests and sovereignty. The 26% limit allows foreign investors to contribute financially without compromising the editorial independence and the local character of the content.
