CCI Approves Merger Between Aster DM Healthcare and QCIL

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has approved a proposed transaction involving the merger of Quality Care India Limited (QCIL) into Aster DM Healthcare Limited, marking a significant consolidation in India’s healthcare sector. Under the scheme, Aster will first acquire a five per cent stake in QCIL from BCP Asia and Centella in exchange for a primary share issuance. Following the merger, Aster will be renamed Aster DM Quality Care Limited. QCIL’s shareholders — Centella, BCP, and certain minority investors — will retain stakes in the merged entity.
