The Competition Commission today said it has approved US retail giant Walmart's proposed acquisition of Flipkart.

The deal values the 11-year old Indian e-commerce firm at USD 20.8 billion.
Deals beyond a certain threshold are required to get clearance from the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
