CCI Approves TPG-Led Aseem Deal, Apollo Healthcare Acquisitions
India’s competition regulator approved two business deals.
One deal allows a TPG-led group to acquire Aseem Infrastructure Finance.
Aseem lends money to companies working on infrastructure such as roads, power, airports, and electricity.
The regulator also approved another deal involving Apollo Fertility Centre and Apollo Specialty Hospitals.
Kids Clinic India can acquire up to all of both hospitals’ shares.
Kids Clinic India runs hospitals under the Cloudnine brand.
These deals needed approval because large transactions may affect competition.
The regulator’s role is to promote fair competition and monitor unfair business practices.
The Competition Commission of India approved TPG Nicobar SG Pte Ltd’s proposed acquisition of Aseem Infrastructure Finance.
TPG Nicobar is acquiring the stake on behalf of a TPG-led consortium of global alternative asset management firms.
Aseem Infrastructure Finance is an RBI-registered, non-deposit-taking middle-layer NBFC serving infrastructure-sector companies.
CCI separately approved Kids Clinic India Ltd’s acquisition of up to 100% of Apollo Fertility Centre and Apollo Specialty Hospitals.
Kids Clinic India operates Cloudnine super-specialty hospitals across cities including Bengaluru, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad.
