Equity rationale

The equity rationale of promotion as per law is that both Indian and foreign promoters have to be equal partners at the end of 10 years if not earlier.

Apparently the Indian promoter is provided the benefit of capital appreciation given his higher stake. The assumption in law is that increasing capital requirements would be continuously met.

Any change in the equity structure for existing units will alter the equity rationale, and be severe for existing Indian promoters.

The law can be changed with reference to new insurance ventures to be promoted even if it would mean 100 per cent foreign equity.
