Govt approves 18 FDI proposals worth Rs 5,000 crore

30 Sep 2015 Evaluate

Government has approved 18 foreign direct investment (FDI) proposals amounting Rs 5,000 crore including Aegon Religare Life Insurance and Aditya Birla Nuvo on the recommendation of Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) which is headed by Economic Affairs Secretary Shaktikanta Das. The proposal of Aegon Religare Life Insurance, worth about Rs 560 crore was approved for increasing foreign partner stake in the joint venture. Out of a total of 31 proposals made by for foreign investments, only 18 were accepted as some proposals were rejected due to non-compliance of foreign investment policy.

Besides, FIPB also cleared FDI proposals of Sun Pharma Advanced Research, HDFC Capital Advisors and International Trade and Exhibitions India. However, five proposals were deferred including Reliance Globalcom. Meanwhile, 8 proposals were rejected including pharma firm Cipla which was rejected due to lack of required information. Also, the investment plans of Apollo Hospitals were rejected as it did not comply with the foreign investment policy.

India allows FDI in most of the sectors through automatic route but in certain segments considered sensitive for the economy and security the proposals have to be first cleared by FIPB. According to the data of Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), FDI inflows in August have registered an increase of 74% as compared to that of same period last fiscal. During 2014-15 fiscal, FDI grew 27 percent year-on- year to $30.93 billion compared to that of $24.29 billion in 2013-14.
