After receiving approval from the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) for increasing the foreign investment limit from the current 49 per cent to 74 per cent, multi system operator (MSO) Hathway Cable and Datacom has received a nod from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as well.
The RBI granted its approval to the MSO for enhancing the limit for the purchase of its equity shares and convertible debentures by FIIs/RFPIs, through primary market and stock exchanges up to 74 per cent of the paid up capital of the company under Portfolio Investment Scheme post approval of the same by FIPB.
“This would be subject to the Regulation 5(2) of FEMA Notification No.20/2000 RB dated May 03, 2000 (as amended from time to time) issued under FEMA, 1999,” the notice said.
