27 Oct 2014 Evaluate

In a significant development, government has approved 20 FDI proposals, envisaging a total inflow of Rs 988.3 crore. Of the total proposals cleared, 6 FDI proposals belong to the pharma sector. Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), a multi-department panel headed by Finance Secretary, in the pharma space, has approved proposals of Fresenius Kabi Oncology for Rs 119 crore and Amneal Pharmaceuticals Company's for up to Rs 205 crore.

Further, proposals envisaging highest foreign direct investment that were cleared by the government belonged to Tamil Nadu-based Equitas Holdings, which would be bringing in Rs 325 crore, followed by Mumbai-based Tara India Fund envisaging investment of Rs 305.63 crore. Equitas Holdings sought approval for downstream investment in its wholly owned subsidiaries by its existing and new foreign shareholders leading to increase in the foreign equity from 91.30% to 93.12%.

Meanwhile, finance ministry has also approved IndusInd’s proposal seeking increase in foreign investment in the bank to 74%. This was after the bank sought a specific request to grant post-facto approval for increase in foreign holding from 68.51% to 72.07% on June 30, 2014.

Among telecom space, the government approved Verizon Communications India's proposal for increasing foreign equity participation by its foreign parent from 74% to 100%, entailing investment of Rs 2.32 crore. However, it rejected five proposals including Sistema Shyam Teleservices (SSTL), which sought permission to increase FDI up to 100% in the company and its downstream wholly owned subsidiary Shyam Internet Services, both engaged in the telecom sector on account of conversion of redeemable preference shares into equity. Also, the government rejected 8 proposals including four from the pharma sector.
