Mergers, Acquisitions & Corporate Restructuring in India

Corporate sector in India is undergoing structural changes as a result of liberalisation, privatisation and openness policies of the Government since early 1990s. Competitive pressures are high not only due to deregulation but also due to globalisation. Along with the rise in the number of Merger and Acquisition (M&A) deals, the amount involved in such deals has risen over time. The present work deals with procedures and processes involved in financial restructuring of companies through mergers and acquisitions. More importantly, it contains 10 case studies of restructuring through mergers and acquisitions that have taken place in India during the last decade. The work, based on extensive statistical exercises, brings out the major issues that actually crop up in a restructuring exercise. The book, it is hoped, will enhance the understanding of the subject which has assumed added significance in the wake of liberalisation and openness wave sweeping across the world.
