Abstract: The research paper studies mergers and acquisitions (M&As) in India and examines the post-M&A performance using data from 2001 to 2015. The long-term performance after a year of M&A is taken for study and is measured in comparison with the combined performance of Companies before merger. We find that, certain characteristics of the companies like pre-merger operating performance and attitude of deals – friendly or not are important determinants of long-term post-M&A operating performance. However, for M&As in that period, there appears to be no major effect on performance of firms’ characteristics linked to M&A activity such as consideration structure, cash reserves of the acquirer, same industry and target’s share acquired.
