Maharashtra has stalled a proposal by China's Great Wall Motor to invest nearly $500 million, days after a deadly border clash between the two nations, potentially delaying the company's plan to tap one of the world's biggest car markets.

The state government of Maharashtra, home to the financial capital of Mumbai, said on Monday it had put on hold three investment proposals from Chinese firms worth 50 billion rupees ($658 million) in total, including Great Wall's.

The initial agreements are not cancelled, but further action is awaited, said Maharashtra's industries minister Subhash Desai, days after his government signed them.
