Separately, the regulator has given its nod to the acquisition by Sanjay Chamria of certain equity shares of Jaguar Advisory Services held by Poonawalla Fincorp Ltd and HDI Global SE.

After acquiring the shares of Jaguar, it will result in an indirect acquisition by Chamria of 5.44 per cent of the equity share capital of Magma HDI General Insurance Company Ltd (Magma HDI).

In another release, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) said it has cleared the deal. Sanjay Chamria invests directly and through entities owned by him in various listed and unlisted enterprises.

Jaguar is engaged in the business of provision of manpower supply services while Magma HDI is in the business of offering general/non-life insurance products.

Deals beyond a certain threshold require approval from the regulator, which keeps a tab on unfair business practices in the marketplace.
