CCI Rejects AGI Greenpac's Challenge to INSCO's Green Channel Approval for HNG Deal

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has rejected AGI Greenpac's second plea challenging the green channel approval for Independent Sugar Corporation's acquisition of Hindusthan National Glass Industries (HNG). AGI Greenpac raised concerns about undisclosed equity participants, control transfer, and market overlaps. However, the CCI found no significant overlaps or material changes and upheld the approval, noting the acquisition structure through a special purpose vehicle was consistent with the original filing.
