According to the Competition Commission of India (CCI) "the proposed combination is not likely to have appreciable adverse effect on competition in India". Under the deal, Wipro GE would acquire assets of GE India Technology Centre -- part of US-headquartered conglomerate General Electric group -- used in the research areas of bio-technology and life sciences.

"Accordingly, it is observed that there is no horizontal overlap between the businesses of Wipro GE and GE India Technology Centre Ltd," CCI said in an order released today.

"It is also observed that GE India Technology Centre renders 100 per cent of its services to the affiliates of GE group across the world, including India," CCI said. "Therefore, this vertical integration is unlikely to result in any appreciable adverse effect on competition," the fair trade regulator added. The 'Asset Purchase Agreement' was entered between the two companies on July 7, 2014 following which they had approached the competition commission for approval in the same month.
