The Centre has even gone to the extent of encouraging states to negotiate loans / FDI with overseas banks / institutions directly since the 1990s. With the Centres grants in aid no longer being seen as the only source for financing their expenditure States compete to attract FDI. And positively so the Centre is not being seen as an obstacle but as a facilitator. Still approval for FDIs is centralized with the DPIIT being the nodal Ministry at the centre for FDI approvals. In many cases the DPIIT has to transfer the proposal for FDI licensing to the other central Ministries in whose Rules of Business the subject matter of proposal may fall . In proposals where land border issues or security issues arise the concurrence of other nodal ministries may also be sought. Paradiplomacy by the States Foreign economic policy is no longer a central preserve with the emergence of paradiplomacy by the States. Economic globalization has made it possible for the States to interact with respective investors in foreign countries in a de facto sense if not in a de jure sense. Investment promotion activities abroad indicate this fact. Such initiatives have helped some states in their economic development and reduced their financial dependence on the Centre. The decision of the Gujarat Government in 2014 to set up international desks independently in USA China Japan for facilitating “INVEST IN VIBRANT GUJARAT” by overseas investors is perhaps the first attempt by any state to start overseas facilities to attract FDI directly. However such enterprise may also raise issues for the sovereignty or security of the country considering that India is largely surrounded by neighbours who are hostile and we face the challenge of reconciling the demands of opening up further in a globalised economy with related security concerns.
