Few months ago the government changed the foreign direct investment (FDI) pricing guidelines for unlisted companies. Earlier foreign investments in unlisted companies were to be made a minimum floor price at a valuation determined by the Controller of Capital Issues (CCI) guidelines. Now effective late last month the valuation will have to be done at a discounted cash flow method.
