Fair trade regulator Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Tuesday approved the acquisition of Yes Asset Management (India) Ltd and Yes Trustee Limited by GPL Finance and Investments Ltd.
The proposed combination envisages the acquisition of 100 per cent equity shares of the two entities by GPL, as per a release.
"By way of these acquisitions, GPL will acquire Yes Mutual Fund and become its sole sponsor," the release added.
