Indian Merger Control Regime – The Introduction And Impact Of Deal Value Thresholds

This article was first published in bwlegalworld.com (September 20, 2024).

On September 9, 2024, the Indian Government notified certain provisions of the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023 that came into effect on September 10, 2024. One of the most noteworthy provisions pertains to the introduction of deal value thresholds (Deal Value Thresholds). The primary objective of introducing the Deal Value Thresholds was to target those big-sized deals wherein the target crosses one of the De-Minimis Exemption thresholds by a significant amount, and yet the deal escapes the CCI’s scrutiny simply because the target does not cross the other one.

In their article for BW Legal World, Viral Mehta and Khyati Dalal analyse the Deal Value Thresholds and their overall impact on the merger control analysis.
