Abstract

This document provides a comparative overview of the regulatory frameworks governing acquisitions in India, the United States, and the European Union. It examines the legal and institutional structures that regulate mergers and acquisitions, including the roles played by the Competition Commission of India (“CCI”), the Securities and Exchange Board of India (“SEBI”), the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the Department of Justice (“DOJ”), and the European Commission. Key elements discussed include notification thresholds, review procedures, enforcement mechanisms, and the underlying legal principles that shape antitrust and securities regulation in each jurisdiction. Through a cross-jurisdictional analysis, the paper offers insights into the convergence and divergence of regulatory practices, equipping stakeholders with a broader understanding of global compliance requirements in cross-border transactions.
