In food processing industries, ______ percent FDI is permitted under the automatic route in India.

90
100
75
80

The correct answer is (c) 75.

FDI is foreign direct investment. It is the investment made by a foreign company in a company in another country. The automatic route is a process by which FDI can be made without the need for prior approval from the government.

In food processing industries, 75% FDI is permitted under the automatic route in India. This means that a foreign company can invest up to 75% of the total investment in a food processing company in India without the need for prior approval from the government.

The remaining 25% of the investment must be made by an Indian company or individual. This is to ensure that Indian companies and individuals have a stake in the food processing industry and that the benefits of FDI are shared by all stakeholders.

The food processing industry is a major contributor to the Indian economy. It employs over 10 million people and contributes over 10% to the country’s GDP. FDI in the food processing industry can help to boost growth in the sector, create jobs, and improve the quality of life for Indians.

The options (a) 90, (b) 100, and (d) 80 are incorrect because they are not the current FDI limits for food processing industries in India.
