India plans to lift five-year-old restrictions on Chinese firms bidding for government contracts, introduced after a 2020 border clash. The curbs had blocked Chinese companies from competing for contracts worth up to $750 billion. Officials are considering removing registration requirements, with the final decision resting with Prime Minister Modi’s office. The move comes as India-China ties improve, following Modi’s recent visit to China and eased visa and travel rules, though restrictions on Chinese investment remain.
