"The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has approved the acquisition of up to 56 per cent shareholding of Ismartu India Private Ltd by Dixon Technologies (India) Ltd," the regulator said in a release.
Dixon Technologies also provides EMS for lighting solutions, television, washing machines, security systems, wearables and hearables etc.
In April this year, Dixon Technologies announced signing a share purchase agreement to acquire up to 56 per cent stake in Ismartu India Pvt Ltd in two tranches.
In another release, CCI said it has approved the indirect controlling acquisition of Arjas Steel Pvt Ltd and Arjas Modern Steel by the Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores and BAG Holdings.
"The proposed combination relates to the acquisition of control of Arjas Steel Pvt Ltd (ASPL) and, an indirect control of its wholly-owned subsidiary, namely Arjas Modern Steel Pvt Ltd (AMSPL) by the Sandur Manganese & Iron Ores Ltd (SMIORE) and BAG Holdings Pvt Ltd (BHPL)," CCI said.

BHPL, an affiliate of SMIORE, while ASPL and AMSPL are engaged in the manufacturing and sale of steel products, heavy ingots, and certain other intermediate products, like, billets.
The deals beyond a certain threshold require approval from the regulator, which keeps a tab on unfair business practices as well as promotes fair competition in the marketplace.
