India reviews BIT rules to draw more foreign capital

India wants more companies from other countries to bring their money and build things here.

A government leader named Thakur said India is looking at its rules for foreign companies.

Sometimes companies are scared to invest in another country because the rules are strict or confusing.

India is checking its special agreements with other countries, called investment treaties, to make the rules friendlier.

The government is also looking at a list of things it worries about and thinking about which worries it can set aside.

Some foreign partners want India to shorten the time companies must wait before solving disagreements.

India says that when the world is in trouble, money likes to go where it feels safe and steady.

The government is spending a lot on big projects, and private companies in India are starting to invest more, which is a good sign.

The government also says that for every one rupee spent on the prime minister's trips abroad, India gets a huge amount of foreign money back.
