The Competition Commission of India has approved the proposed merger between Hinduja Leyland Finance Limited and NXT Digital Limited clearing a major regulatory hurdle in the consolidation of the Hinduja Group’s financial services business. The approval from Competition Commission of India marks a significant step toward streamlining operations under the broader umbrella of the Hinduja Group.
The merger is part of a larger restructuring plan aimed at strengthening the financial services vertical of the group. By combining entities and simplifying shareholding structures the group seeks to improve operational efficiency enhance capital allocation and create a more focused non banking financial company platform. The move is expected to provide better access to funding and support long term growth strategies in vehicle finance and related lending segments.
Hinduja Leyland Finance has been a key player in commercial vehicle and equipment financing with a strong presence across India. The consolidation is likely to enhance its balance sheet strength and improve its competitive positioning in a rapidly evolving NBFC landscape. Analysts believe that regulatory approval from CCI indicates that the transaction does not raise significant competition concerns in the relevant markets.
Industry observers note that consolidation in the NBFC sector has gained pace in recent years as companies look to optimize capital structures and meet tightening regulatory requirements. The Hinduja Group’s restructuring initiative aligns with this broader trend and signals confidence in the long term prospects of India’s credit market.
