India Technology Sector Merger & Acquisition Filings — March 29, 2026
Dominant M&A activity in India Tech/Packaging space centered on EPL Limited's scheme of amalgamation with Indovida India Private Limited across 5/7 filings, set to double standalone revenue from ₹4,568 Cr to proforma ₹8,377 Cr (CY25), boost EBITDA margin to 20.9%, EBIT margin +120 bps to 13.6%, and ROCE +220 bps to 20.9%, with $35-50M synergies from geographical diversification and efficiencies. CMS Info Systems' bolt-on acquisition of FSS ATM business adds ~8,000 units (expanding from 31,000 to 39,000) for ₹115 Cr, aligning with 11% CAGR guidance through FY30 on ₹1,300 Cr FY25 revenue base. Healthcare Global's SPA extension delays second closing by 3 weeks for Vizag Hospital stake. Portfolio-level trends show revenue scale-up averaging ~80% proforma for key deals, margin accretion, but public dilution in EPL from 74.03% to 31.63% amid promoter stake surge to 68.37%. Positive sentiment prevails (5/7 filings), signaling consolidation for emerging market growth, though approvals pending create timing risks. Critical implication: Enhanced scale positions merged entities for 20%+ ROCE outperformance vs. sector norms.
