FIPB has approved MCCS proposal for foreign investment but this is subject to the ministry's permission for uplinking a news and current affairs television channel from India, I&B Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad told Rajya Sabha in a written reply.

"The proposal of MCCS to uplink Star News channel from India is under examination in the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting," he said.

To a question on what action the government has taken against ASC Enterprises, which supplied set-top boxes with limited access to Ku band DTH services, Prasad said the matter was being examined by the ministry.
