M&A: INDIAN AMENDMENT

Proposed amendment to Indian law is not sensible

Also, the whole process of notification will take any where between 30 to 210 days. The industry fears a loss of competitive edge during the gestation period. Evidently, global M&A activity could be substantially hit. Jyoti Vij, Director (Financial sector & corporate law), FICCI, said to B&E, “There is a genuine concern in the industry (in India & abroad) as it is not clear what all is in the ambit of the amendments and how things like group consolidation and takeovers will be affected.”

M&As have the potential to bring positive gains to the Indian domestic industry through transfer of technological & business expertise. Concerns relating to foreign companies engaging in M&As might be genuine, but such an amendment will surely prove to be the wrong way to address it. Guess India must search for better ways to exercise its global clout than this!
