PHDCCI organises Conference on Corporate Restructuring

New Delhi, November 29, 2025: PHDCCI recently organised a Conference on Corporate Restructuring with focus on domestic and cross border Mergers & Acquisitions.
Delivering a Special Address, Padma Jaiswal, Secretary, Government of Puducherry said that Corporate Restructuring is the most crucial aspect to revive the corporates to overcome financial distress, enhance performance, and adapt to market changes. She further said that sudden spate of economic activity in India has necessitated corporate restructuring and banking and telecom sectors have seen large-scale mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Post restructuring our telecom sector is doing exceedingly well marked by substantial growth in subscribers, data usage, and revenue, driven by key government reforms and technological advancements like 5G rollout. The Government’s commitment can be seen in the Union Budget presented last year, where more powers were given to Regional Directors & Registrar of Companies. Despite existing legal frameworks and common practices, the listed companies still have a lot of issues with respect to  restructuring due to impending issues in financial, regulatory, and human capital issues that can derail the entire process.
Earlier presenting the theme of the Conference, CS NPS Chawla, Council Member, The ICSI said that corporate restructuring is the most evolving subject in the present times with the Govt. focussing on promoting ease of doing business within the country. This focus has led to a series of legislative reforms and new frameworks aimed at streamlining processes and improving the efficiency of the corporate environment. He said the main issues that need to be addressed to streamline the restructuring include rationalisation of stamp duty, succession planning and Ghar wapasi or reverse flip to achieve regulatory clarity, tax efficiency, and operational seamlessness across different jurisdictions and generations.
Sumant Nayak and Rishi Kapoor, Co-Chairs, Corporate Affairs Committee, PHDCCI also joined the session. Mr. Nayak said that as regulations, compliance expectations, and governance standards continue to transform, it becomes essential for organisations to adapt thoughtfully and strategically.
Mohit Luthra, ASG, PHDCCI in his opening remarks said that corporate restructuring is imperative for companies to design structures that balance regulatory prudence with business agility.
The session was followed by technical presentation on domestic and cross border Mergers & Acquisitions.
