India's Conglomerates Emerge as Dominant Buyers of Stressed Assets

India's bankruptcy regime, which was introduced a decade ago, has seen four of the country's biggest conglomerates emerge as the dominant buyers of stressed assets. The conglomerates in question are Adani Group, JSW Group, Reliance Industries, and Tata Group.

These four companies have been at the forefront of acquiring stressed assets from various sectors, including power, steel, and cement. The acquisition of stressed assets by these conglomerates has been a strategic move to expand their business portfolios and increase their market share.

The decade-old bankruptcy regime in India has been instrumental in facilitating the sale of stressed assets to new owners. The regime has enabled the restructuring of debt and the sale of assets to companies that are better equipped to manage them.
