Indian air carrier brought down FDI to permitted level

Saturday, June 26th, 2010

Indian company Kingfisher Airlines brought down foreign stake from around 53% to 49%, – the percent that is within the prescribed foreign investment cap of 49% permitted in the airline business in India.  

A year ago, the Foreign Investment Promotion Board objected to the UBHL Group, which is controlling Kingfisher, in its proposal to raise Rs 708 crore by issuing fully convertible equity warrants to the British Virgin Islands-registered company FirStart Inc.
 
The reason was that this would raise FDI stake above 52%, while the maximum level prescribed is 49%. As a result, the company had to lower the FDI level within a specified period of time.

UB Group planned to use the money from the BVI company to invest in various ventures including Kingfisher Airlines, McDowell Holdings,and UB Electronics (in which it holds stakes), and Kingfisher Finvest and UB Infrastructure Projects (both wholly-owned).
