Blackstone Seeks Easier Rules for Privatization, M&A in India.

Blackstone Inc., a global investment firm, expects dealmaking to continue to thrive in India, its third-largest business worldwide. The company is advocating for regulatory changes to make it easier to operate in the country. The Indian government has already implemented measures to improve the business environment, such as introducing a goods and services tax and changing bankruptcy laws. Blackstone is particularly interested in investing in logistics, data centers, value-added exporters, healthcare, financial services, travel-related companies, and energy transition in India. However, challenges remain, such as the difficulty of delisting companies and the lengthy process for mergers in India compared to other countries. [Extracted from the article]
