How the exam will ask it
ପ୍ରିଲିମ୍ସ
- Industrial development is a State subject, but FDI policy and foreign trade fall under the Union government.
- Statement check: State governments can offer incentives and facilitation to attract foreign investors, while FDI norms are set by the Centre.
ମେନ୍ସ
GS-III (Economy) and Karnataka paper: States compete for foreign investment under a federal framework. The Centre sets FDI policy while States offer land, talent, incentives and ecosystems. The implication is balanced regional growth, so the way forward is to spread investment beyond Bengaluru and strengthen skills and infrastructure.
