Abstract While the merger and acquisition (“M&A”) activity in India was largely resilient during the period 2015-2019, India witnessed a surge with deal values in 2022 where strategic M&A deal volume and value reached all-time highs in India, while deal-making dropped off in much of the rest of the world. M&A in India was boosted by more than 20 large transactions and reached a record high of USD 107 billion — almost twice that of 2021 . One of the largest M&A was the merger of HDFC with HDFC Bank with the deal value pegged at USD 60 Billion which was the biggest in India’s corporate history and was higher than the total value of all deals — USD 52 Billion in 2021. 2022 witnessed some of the largest-ever transactions in the cement, aviation and banking sectors, which were driven by companies looking to either consolidate their positions or enter new segments. Although deal activity in 2022 has been lower than 2021, it has surpassed pre-pandemic levels. The general M&A activity in India is near an all-time high with more companies are doing more deals than ever before. Hostile takeovers make up 19% of all mergers and acquisitions worldwide, and they are at an all-time high as businesses with robust balance sheets continue to buy out their less strong competitors for a small portion of their actual worth. This paper aims to bring in the analysis of Hostile takeovers and their impact on organizational dynamics with specific references to the provisions of Companies Act, 2013 and the Regulation of takeover by SEBI in India.
