CCI Approves JSW Energy Limited’s acquisition of GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited

On April 7, 2020, CCI approved an acquisition of 100% shareholding in GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited (‘GMRK’) by JSW Energy Limited (‘JEL’).[1] 

Both parties are active in the power generation market in India (and at a narrow level, the thermal power generation segment in India). The combined and incremental market share of the parties in these common segments was between 0-5%. There were also some potential vertical overlaps between JEL’s subsidiaries and GMRK, where the parties’ market shares are miniscule. Given the lack of market share and the presence of several significant competitors in each segment/sub-segment, CCI found that the transaction is not likely to cause an AAEC in India.
