INDIA Trends and Developments Contributed by: Raj Ramachandran, Kartik Jain, Mannat Nirola and Anmol Mahajan, JSA Advocates & Solicitors
liberalisation of foreign investment norms, expansion of the fast-track merger regime and continued simpli - fication of foreign exchange regulations collectively reflect a broader policy objective of enhancing regula - tory certainty while reducing compliance friction. Looking ahead, the reform momentum is expected to continue. Proposed measures such as the Securi - ties Markets Code, which seeks to consolidate India’s securities law framework into a unified legislative regime, signal a broader shift towards simplification, regulatory harmonisation and technology-enabled compliance.
From an investment and M&A perspective, India is likely to remain a key destination for global capital. Continued supply chain diversification, increasing inbound investment, expanding GCC activity and growth in manufacturing, renewable energy, artifi - cial intelligence and digital infrastructure, together with rising outbound acquisitions by Indian corpo - rates, are expected to drive transaction activity. At the same time, growing scrutiny of data governance, ESG compliance, beneficial ownership structures and sector-specific regulatory requirements will continue to increase transaction complexity. Overall, the con - vergence of economic scale, policy stability and regu - latory modernisation is expected to create substan - tial opportunities for businesses adopting a long-term strategic approach to the Indian market.
