Model Answer
The Central and State governments have taken the following steps to attract foreign investment:
- Special Economic Zones (SEZs): Industrial zones called SEZs are being set up with world-class facilities like electricity, water, roads, transport, storage, and educational facilities. Companies setting up units in SEZs are exempt from paying taxes for an initial period of five years.
- Flexible Labour Laws: The government has allowed companies to relax labour laws — firms can hire workers on short-term, flexible contracts instead of regular employment, reducing labour costs to attract foreign companies.

Explanation
- This is a direct textbook question. Examiners expect two clear points: SEZs (with details) and flexible labour laws.
- Mention the tax exemption for 5 years — it's a specific detail that earns marks.
- Avoid writing vague points like "government made policies." Be specific.
- 3 marks = ~2 developed points + brief elaboration each. No need for an introduction.
