The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Thursday said it has no
objection to ArcelorMittal's and JSW Steel's proposed bids to acquire
debt-ridden Essar Steel and Bhushan Power, respectively.
"CCI
India finds no appreciable adverse effect on competition in respect of
ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal's proposed acquisition
of Essar Steel," the fair trade regulator tweeted.
ArcelorMittal-led
consortium including Nippon Steel and Sumitomo Metal has offered Rs
42,000 crore for Essar Steel, which is significantly higher than Rs
37,000 crore bid submitted by Numetal, a consortium led by Russia's VTB
Bank.
The financial creditors claim on bankrupt Essar Steel,
currently undergoing insolvency proceedings, is to the tune of Rs 50,000
crore. Third company in the race for Essar Steel is Vedanta Resources.
In
another tweet, the regulator said, "CCI India finds no appreciable
adverse effect on competition in respect of JSW Steel's proposed
acquisition of Bhushan Power & Steel Limited."
Earlier last
month, the CCI cleared Tata Steel for proposed acquisition of Bhushan
Power saying it will not impact competition in the sector.
