"As it appears Vodafone's acquisition is in conformity with the law and FIPB will consider the case when it comes to it," Kamal Nath said after he met Vodafone CEO Arun Sarin and Essar Vice chairman Ravi Ruia.
He said Vodafone's investments in India will bring synergies and technical expertise to the country.
The minister said, "The issue (FIPB looking into Vodafone case) also came up during our discussion. FIPB, as per rules will process it in the next few days. As it appears, I do not know the details, but it is in conformity and it is for FIPB to look into details and process it, which I hope they will do expeditiously."
