"Space has actually levelled up to foreign ownership. It is a really tundra. Money may move in as well as out more or less effortlessly without any discontinuances, however there might be a method required simply to be sure there is no loan washing or there is actually no round-tripping of amount of money heading out of India and coming back in to the country as an income tax arbitrage. A couple of buffers are there," he said, adding that today, nobody is actually informing him that they are not acquiring India as a result of some of the authorities plans.
