The Reserve Bank of India has allowed foreign investors to raise their stake up to 74 per cent in DEN Networks. Foreign institutional investors (FIIs)/registered foreign portfolios investors (RFPIs) can now invest up to 74 per cent of the paid-up capital of DEN Networks under the portfolio investment scheme (PIS).
The decision came after the company passed resolutions at its board of directors’ level and a special resolution by shareholders, agreeing to enhancing the limit for the purchase of its equity shares and convertible debentures by FIIs/RFPIs.
FIIs, non-resident Indians and persons of Indian origin can invest in primary and secondary capital markets in India through PIS. RBI monitors the ceilings on FII/NRI/PIO investments in Indian companies on a daily basis and has fixed the cut-off points two percentage points lower than the actual ceiling.
