Mergers and acquisition have been prominent in the advanced capitalist countries since the late 19th century. But only in recent times have they become a regular phenomenon in developing countries like India. The corporate sector in India has witnessed a substantial growth of mergers and acquisitions since 1990s. Through the first wave of M & As (1990-95) the Indian corporate sectors seem to have been bracing up to face foreign competition. While the second wave (since 1995) saw a significant involvement of multinational firms. The macroeconomic policy changes in India facilitated the third wave of mergers since 2000 (2th century) i.e overseas acquisitions by the Indian firms. A large number of mergers were between firms belonging to same business groups and product lines with a view to increase their controlling blocks and market power.
