News LafargeHolcim asked to divest assets in eastern India by CCI

LafargeHolcim asked to divest assets in eastern India by CCI

India: The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has requested that LafargeHolcim divest some of its units, including limestone reserves, to prevent a monopoly in eastern India.

When Lafarge and Holcim initially announced their intention to merge operations in April 2014, they proposed a series of asset divestments in countries where they had a significant market share, but India was not among them.

After prima facie investigations by the CCI revealed that the combination would likely have an appreciable adverse effect on competition, especially in eastern India, the CCI launched, what it calls, Phase II investigations. It put the merger proposal in public scrutiny under Section 29(3) of the Competition Act, 2002 and invited comments from stakeholders including competitors. The CCI has now stated that the merger proposal is fine, but certain assets must be divested in eastern India.

According to local media, the assets can be sold to a company that is not a competitor. LafargeHolcim has 30 days to respond to the CCI's suggestions.
