As mentioned before, explicit <strong>in</strong>formation on mergers executed <strong>in</strong> India is not available. The only sources of such<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation are either private databases or <strong>in</strong>dividual researchers. In addition to the databases on greenfield <strong>in</strong>vestments<br />
previously mentioned, Ramakrishnan (2008) analysed f<strong>in</strong>ancial data perta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g to 87 pairs of merged firms; the mergers<br />
were executed between 1996 <strong>and</strong> 2002. He found that 64 of these mergers belonged to related <strong>in</strong>dustries, while the<br />
rema<strong>in</strong>der were <strong>in</strong> unrelated <strong>in</strong>dustries. For as many as 76 of these mergers, stock was the predom<strong>in</strong>ant mode of payment<br />
for the acquired firm, while corporate control was transferred <strong>in</strong> 37 mergers. Moreover, 14 of the acquired companies<br />
had been declared sick at the time of the merger.<br />
The <strong>in</strong>flows through acquisition of shares registered an average <strong>growth</strong> of 55.7 per cent from 2001 to 2008. Such <strong>in</strong>flows<br />
registered positive <strong>growth</strong> throughout the period except <strong>in</strong> the years 2003 <strong>and</strong> 2007. Details of the 10 most significant<br />
acquisitions are presented <strong>in</strong> Table 3.5. Most of these acquir<strong>in</strong>g foreign companies belonged to Mauritius, S<strong>in</strong>gapore,<br />
