NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The Indian cabinet cleared a proposal on Wednesday allowing 100 percent foreign direct investment (FDI) in single-brand retail via the automatic route, government spokesman Frank Noronha said.

The cabinet also eased FDI rules for the aviation and the construction sectors, he said, but did not elaborate. A formal notification is expected later on Wednesday.
