The proposals were cleared on the recommendations of the Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB), which met here July 10, a finance ministry statement said.

Delhi-based power company Teesta Urja has been allowed FDI investments worth Rs 547.2 crore through regularisation of allotment of equity shares on a partly paid basis.

KVK Energy and Infrastructure of Hyderabad have been allowed to raise additional FDI worth Rs 116 crore from an existing investor.

Mumbai-based IL&FS Trust Co has been allowed to raise Rs 108 crore so it can continue to hold stake in the Multi Commodity Exchange of India.

Thirteen proposals were deferred, which included/vt proposals from Jindal Saw, Vijay Mallya-promoted United Breweries, Unitech Wireless and Dish TV.
