IKEA, Swedish furniture retailer has submitted the final documents with the FIPB relating to its investment proposals in accordance with the amended single-brand retail FDI policy.
The company intends to invest about Euro 1.5 billion (approx Rs 10,500 crore) to set up 25 stores in India. In September 2012, the Central Government had made changes in the sourcing norms for FDI exceeding 51 per cent in single-brand retail and diluted the previous condition to source 30 per cent of requirements. As a part of the modifications, the government had said foreign firms, which want a relaxation of the 30 per cent procurement norms, would have to set up manufacturing facility in India.
