<h1>Foreign direct investment approvals permit two proposals while others face deferral, clarification or abeyance under FDI norms.</h1> Approval was granted for two Foreign Direct Investment proposals - additional foreign investment including post facto approval into a pharma company and a 50:50 joint venture to operate duty free retail - while one housing finance proposal was deferred for non compliance with minimum capitalization norms, one applicant was asked for clarification on shareholding limits in a joint venture, and one proposal was kept in abeyance.
