On Tuesday, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) accepted Adani Power Ltd and Dickey Alternative Investment Trust’s bid to purchase a 100% stake in Coastal Energen Pvt Ltd. Adani Power Ltd (APL), part of the diversified Adani Group, is India’s largest private-sector thermal power generator.

According to a release from fair trade regulator CCI, the proposed transaction entails the acquisition of 100% of the equity share capital of Coastal Energen Pvt Ltd (CEPL) by Dickey Alternative Investment Trust (DAIT) and APL.

DAIT is a SEBI-registered Alternative Investment Fund (AIF). It is working through its investment manager, Dickey Asset Management Pvt Ltd.

CEPL generates and sells power. The corporation is now undergoing a Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP) under the insolvency and bankruptcy legislation.

Deals above a specific level require regulatory permission, which helps to prevent unfair business practices and encourages fair competition in the marketplace.
