Abstract | The most significant event in an organization's life is a merger or acquisition, which has a big influence on its operations and activities. Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) include the transfer or combination of ownership of businesses, other business entities, or operating divisions. Mergers and acquisitions, as a facet of strategic management, allow companies to grow, downsize, or shift their market position and operational framework. This research paper explores the legal environment surrounding M&A in India, with a particular emphasis on the regulatory frameworks established by the Competition Act 2002, the Companies Act 2013, SEBI, Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 and other relevant legislations. Regulatory authorities like the Competition Commission of India (CCI), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), and the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) are instrumental in maintaining transparency, fairness, and competitive balance in M&A transactions. Their regulatory frameworks have played a pivotal role in shaping the mergers and acquisitions environment by promoting openness, safeguarding fair competition, and mitigating anti-competitive risks.This dissertation combines theoretical insights with empirical analysis to assess the role of legal and regulatory bodies, such as the Competition Commission of India and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), in overseeing M&A activities. Case studies of some M&A transactions are utilized to identify key factors influencing the outcomes of these deals and to analyze how Indian companies navigate the legal frameworks and market conditions. |
