M&As in the time of digital economy

Saturday, 23 September 2023, 07:36:55
Mergers and acquisitions play an important role during economic growth and investments. While M&A deals are negotiated by parties based on synergies, technologies and complementarities, these require approval of various regulators under their laws, including the Competition Commission of India (CCI). There are unique characteristics in digital economy, in which data and network effects play disproportionately significant role, sometimes not captured under existing regulatory architecture.The recent amendments in Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023, among other changes, brought the concept of deal value thresholds, which means a financial threshold of Rs 2,000 crore, beyond which the parties involved in the mergers and amalgamations would be required to notify CCI for approval. This was mooted in the Report of the Competition Law Review Committee in 2019, and recommended in 52nd Report of Standing Committee on Finance.To the credit of CCI, it has been modernising its tools in tune with the needs of the economy.
