  "summary": "India approved only one Chinese FDI proposal worth ₹1 crore in the financial year 2025-26, while granting clearance to 13 applications from Hong Kong worth ₹610.42 crore. This data comes from official records and is crucial as investments from countries sharing a land border with India have been subject to government approval since April 2020 under Press Note 3 of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). The aim of this measure is to prevent opportunistic takeovers and acquisitions of Indian companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the government has approved 63 FDI proposals worth ₹10,292.67 crore in the same period.",
