Growing Indian economy, liberalisation and relaxation of foreign policies, extra cash with Indian corporates have all contributed to rise in cross-border M&A in India. The rapid growth of the global economy with liberalised economic and legal environments has resulted in restructuring of commercial entities on profitable lines so as to withstand global competition and to strengthen the business to maximise shareholder value. Realising the economies of scale to be gained as well as privatisation, globalisation and deregulation acting as necessary catalysts, cross-border M&A activities have increased in frequency in India. .But the attempt by Bharti enterprises to integrate with the South African giant, MTN Ltd., however, brought many lacunas in the Indian laws out of the closet. This paper studies rising trends of cross-border mergers in India in the background of failure of Bharti-MTN deal which brought many lacunas in the Indian laws out of the closet
