10 Top $Bn Deals
y Tata S teel¶s mega takeover of European steel major Corus for $ 12 .2 billion. The biggestever for an Indian company. This is the first big thing which marked the arrival of IndiaInc on the global stage.
y Vodafone¶s purchase of 5 2% stake in H utch Essar for about $ 10 billion. Essar group stillholds 3 2% in the Joint venture.
y H indalco of Aditya Birla group¶s acquisition of Novellis for $6 billion.y Ranbaxy¶s sale to Japan¶s Daiichi for $4.5 billion. S ing brothers sold the company to
Daiichi and since then there is no real good news coming out of Ranbaxy.y ONGC acquisition of Russia based Imperial Energy for $ 2 .8 billion. This marked the turn
around of India¶s hunt for natural reserves to compete with China.y NTT DoCoMo- Tata Tele services deal for $ 2 .7 billion. The second biggest telecom deal
after the Vodafone. Reliance MTN deal if went through would have been a good additionto the list.
y H DFC Bank acquisition of Centurion Bank of Punjab for $ 2 .4 billion.y
Tata Motors acquisition of luxury car maker Jaguar Land Rover for $ 2 .3 billion. Thiscould probably the most ambitious deal after the Ranbaxy one. It certainly landed TataMotors into lot of trouble.
y W ind Energy premier S uzlon Energy¶s acquistion of RePower for $ 1.7 billion.y Reliance Industries taking over Reliance Petroleum Limited (RPL) for 85 00 crores or
$ 1.6 billion

Mergers and Acquisitions Laws: the Indian PerspectiveIndian competition law grants a maximum time period of 210 days for thedetermination of the combination, which comprises acquisitions, mergers,
amalgamations and the like. One needs to take note of the fact that this statedtime frame is clearly distinct from the minimum compulsory wait period forapplicants. As per the law , the compulsory period of waiting for applicants can either be 210 days starting from the day of notice filing or receipt of the Commission's order, whichever occurs earlier.The threshold limits for firms entering business combinations are substantially high under the Indian law. The threshold limits are set either in terms of the asset value or or in terms the firm's turnover. Indian threshold limits are greater thanthose for the EU. They are twice as high when compared with U K .The Indian law also provides for the modern day phenomenon of merger andacquisitions, which are cross border in nature. As per the law domestic nexus is apre-requisite for notification on this type of combinations.It can be noted that Competition Act, 2002 has undergone a recent amendment.This has replaced the the voluntary notification regime with a mandatory regime.Of the total number of 10 6 countries, which possess competition laws only 9 arethought to be credited with a voluntary notification regime. Voluntary notificationregimes are generally associated with business uncertainties.Post-combination, if firms are seen to be involved in anti-competitive practices de-merger shows the way out.
