CCI Gives Nod to Tata Electronics For Stake Acquisition in Pegatron India

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has approved a two-part transaction involving Tata Electronics Pvt. Ltd. (TEPL) and Pegatron Technology India Pvt. Ltd. (Pegatron India). The acquisition also includes the transfer of a business undertaking by TEL Components Pvt. Ltd. (TEL) to Pegatron India.

What’s the Deal About?

The approved combination involves two main steps:

1. TEPL’s Shareholding in Pegatron India: TEPL plans to acquire a majority stake in Pegatron India, which will be completed in two phases.
2. Business Transfer from TEL to Pegatron India: TEL, a fully owned TEPL subsidiary, will hand over its business operations to Pegatron India.

This dual-approach deal sets the stage for collaboration between these entities.
