However, five proposals were deferred and eight were rejected, the source said. The proposal of pharma firm Cipla was rejected on lack of required information. Also, the investment plans of Apollo Hospitals was rejected as it did not comply with the foreign investment policy, source said. Reliance Globalcom proposal was, however, deferred.
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 the FIPB. The foreign direct investment number for the month of July has not been made public. In June, India had attracted USD 2.05 billion FDI as against USD 1.92 billion in same month last fiscal year.
