New Delhi, Aug 07 (ANI): The Left and other opposition parties have strongly opposed the 100 per cent foreign investment in railway infrastructure projects and 49 per cent in defence. The Cabinet cleared the long-delayed proposal for raising FDI limit in defence to 49 percent and fully opened up the railway infrastructure segment, like high-speed trains, for foreign investment. The decisions taken at the Cabinet meeting headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi came barely two weeks after the one to raise the cap of FDI in insurance sector from 26 percent to 49 percent.
