Legal issues for Indian M&A

Article Abstract:

Overseas investors have been attracted to India ever since economic liberalisation was introduced. The Securities and Exchange Board of India Takeover Regulations revised the existing 1994 Regulations and removed the numerous ambiguities within them. One of these was that the previous Regulations only applied to shares in listed companies. This has been changed. The interpretation of some definitions were explained in detail, although it did not define what a 'takeover' actually is. The idea of indirect acquisition was encompassed in the new regulations.
