Fair trade regulator CCI today approved AIA group's 23 per cent additional stake purchase in its life insurance joint venture with the Tata group.
AIA, which holds 26 per cent stake in Tata AIA Life Insurance Company, will raise it to 49 per cent with the acquisition.
However, while announcing the deal in December last year, the company did not disclose the financial details.
In a tweet, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said it "approves acquisition of additional 23 per cent shares in Tata AIA Life Insurance Company Ltd by AIA International Ltd".
