Govt defers nod to Jet Airways, GMR Airport proposals

New Delhi: The government today deferred a decision on giving approvals to Jet Airways' proposal for QIP and GMR Airports' plan for a foreign investor in the Bangalore Airport .
The Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) in a meeting earlier this month, however, cleared six foreign direct investment proposals worth Rs 5.46 crore, an official statement said.
The statement did not list any reason for deferring Jet and GMR Airport proposals.
"Based on the recommendations of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB)... government has approved six proposals of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) amounting to Rs 5.46 crore approximately," the statement added.
It also deferred consideration of seven proposals, including Jet Airways' equity investment through qualified institutional placement (QIP) route and GMR Airports Holding's intent to induct foreign equity in an investing company.
The government had also deferred the proposals of equity induction in Falcon Tyres and Telecordia Technologies among others.
