NCLT permits Flipkart restructuring, clearing path for initial public offering

The National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) has approved the merger of eight Flipkart entities, taking the e-commerce major a step closer to obtaining an Indian domicile ahead of its potential public listing. The tribunal has sanctioned the Scheme of Amalgamation involving eight Singapore-incorporated transferor companies merging into Flipkart Internet Private Limited, the Bengaluru-based operational arm. Flipkart will now require approval from the Singapore court before the matter is taken up by the Registrar of Companies (RoC).
