ABSTRACT

As a result of globalization, technological improvements, and shifting regulatory environments, the landscape of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&A) under India's legal framework is always changing. This study looks at how the legal framework guiding cross-border M&A activity in India is changing and what opportunities it presents. It studies the legal framework underlying these transactions by analyzing the Companies Act, 2013, as well as regulatory agencies like SEBI, RBI, and CCI. Important developments, such as growing interest from outside investors, strategic partnerships, and the influence of technology, are examined alongside regulatory obstacles including difficult compliance requirements and unclear legal landscapes. The article summarizes key takeaways and recommended strategies for stakeholders based on current case studies. Future prospects are examined, including the function of legal technology, geopolitical considerations, and possible modifications to enable more seamless transactions. With recommendations for stakeholders to take advantage of new opportunities while reducing regulatory risks, this report offers insightful guidance for navigating the challenging landscape of cross-border M&A in India.
