Anushka Sonavane, B.A. LL.B., SVKM’S Pravin Gandhi College of Law


ABSTRACT


M&A has become a crucial strategy for corporate growth and gaining market shares in India. Such consolidations, even though desirable, may result in monopolistic practices, reduction of competition, and adverse implications on consumers. Anti-trust laws, more so the provisions under The Competition Act 2002, are required to regulate these transactions with a view toward ensuring fair competition and preventing abuses of market dominance. This paper looks at the role of anti-trust laws in the market for merger and acquisition activities in India, thus analyzing the impact in the market, the regulatory framework, and notable case studies that bring out the effectiveness of these laws.
