The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) today announced launch of a survey on the Foreign Collaboration in Indian Industry for 2010-11.
The survey is intended to collect comprehensive information relating to the nature, pattern and operation of the foreign collaboration agreements of companies, the RBI said in a statement.
It will seek information from Indian firms on both financial collaboration through equity participation and technical collaboration. Corporates which have entered into the Foreign Collaboration Agreement have been asked to furnish the necessary information by March 15.
The RBI has instituted the Foreign Collaboration Survey in 1965 and this will be the ninth round. Information collected through the survey serves as an input for the policy formulation.
The eighth round of survey was conducted in 2010 for the reference period 2007-08 to 2009-10.
