Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: C
Explanation

Invest India is the National Investment Promotion and Facilitation Agency of India, established in 2009 [4]. It is a joint venture (not-for-profit) company under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce and Industry [1]. The ownership structure is a unique partnership involving the Central Government, various State Governments, and industry associations such as the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) [2]. As a non-profit venture, it serves as the primary point of contact for both global and domestic investors, providing end-to-end support throughout the investment lifecycle [4]. It plays a critical role in the 'Make in India' initiative by facilitating market entry strategies, location identification, and regulatory approvals without charging for its services. Therefore, both statements regarding its status as a joint venture not-for-profit company and its role as the national facilitation agency are correct.
