Consistent with our extensive work for foreign investors, work on FDI screening has assumed great importance and we worked on some of the first transactions to be cleared through the new processes and are frequently advising foreign investors on whether the screening regime applies to their potential transactions. We have expertise with a large number of industries such as healthcare, telecoms, food, consumer electronics, logistics, financial and digital services, life sciences, real estate and construction, etc.
