BIBLIOGRAPHY

The policy of Liberalisation, Privatisation and Globalisation (LPG) of economy has exposed the corporations to domestic and global competitions. Low-cost − but good quality products have become a necessity for survival in competitive markets. Corporate restructuring has gained considerable importance all over the world. In India, the corporate restructuring is still in adolescent stage. The popular method of restructuring corporate entities in India is through M&As. The banking sector reforms were aimed at making banks more efficient and viable. This book "Mergers and Acquisitions in Indian Banking Sector − A Study of Selected Banks" is made an attempt on mergers and acquisitions of select Indian banks by highlighting the legal framework, trends and progress in Mergers and Acquisitions in India and a detailed pre- and post- merger analysis based on physical and financial parameters of the select merged banks.
