Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre
The Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs has established an organization, namely Overseas Indian Facilitation Centre (OIFC) in 2007, to facilitate potential NRIs and overseas corporate bodies of overseas Indians that desire to invest in India. OIFC has organized several Investment and Interactive Meets / Road shows in different countries and also organised ‘Market Place’ during Pravasi Bhartiya Divas (PBD) in India. An electronic portal has also been launched by the Ministry to reply to the queries of potential overseas investors by OIFC and its knowledge partners to promote and facilitate economic engagement by Overseas Indians.
The annual PBDs and regional PBDs also provide a platform for facilitation of investment by overseas Indians.
This information was given by the Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs, Shri Vayalar Ravi in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.
