In a separate reply, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Som Parkash said in the last seven years (2014-21), India has received USD 440.27 billion foreign direct investment (FDI).
Replying to a separate question, Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Anupriya Patel said that in September, India introduced a document at the WTO containing 'Polluter Pays' principle for fisheries subsidies negotiations.
"It proposes a moratorium on subsidies by distant water fishing nations for fishing and fishing related activities beyond their Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) and also seeks reduction commitments on distant water fishing capacity by these nations," she said.
In these negotiations, she added that India has also sought policy space to support low income, resource-poor or livelihood fishing or fishing related activities up to "our EEZ, to develop and modernize our fisheries sector and for expanding our fishing activities in the high seas".
