India's cabinet approves an ordinance to increase foreign investment in insurance, allowing greater foreign ownership in local insurance ventures. The move demonstrates the government's commitment to economic reforms despite opposition protests. The ordinance raises the foreign investment limit in insurance companies from 26% to 49%, while emphasizing that management control must remain in Indian hands. Parliamentary approval is required within six months to make the changes permanent.
