The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is reviewing UltraTech Cement’s proposed acquisition of India Cements. UltraTech Cement announced in an exchange filing that it received communication from the CCI under Section 29 (1) of the Competition Act, 2002 regarding the acquisition.

UltraTech is confident about the merits of the deal, noting that the southern grey cement market, where India Cements operates, remains highly competitive and fragmented, with over 35 manufacturers.
