About the 6th Demystifying Series
The introduction of Press Note 3 in 2020 to block opportunistic takeovers was widely misread and was just recalibrated in 2026 after six years of ambiguity around what it restricted. Adding to it is cross-border M&A, where deal timelines, structuring choices, and approval routes are shifting faster than most rules can keep up with; what worked a year ago may not work anymore.
And there’s the bigger picture of foreign investment into India, sector caps, automatic versus government routes, and reporting norms that are quietly evolving alongside geopolitics, trade relationships, and India’s broader ease-of-business push. These three threads move together, but they’re rarely discussed together, which is exactly the gap this session is designed to close.
