Abstract

The paper tries to assess the impact of cross-border mergers and acquisitions announcements on the Indian acquiring firm's shareholder wealth. A total of 110 CBMA deals announced by Indian acquirers between 2013-2018 comprises the dataset. Value effects were determined using event study methodology. The study reveals positive abnormal returns on the announcement day consistent with other similar Indian studies. It also reports higher positive wealth effects in post-announcement windows compared to pre-announcement windows. The results highlight increasing informational efficiency in Indian stock markets and shrinkage of wealth-creating windows in CBMA deals for acquiring firm's shareholders.
