MetLife stake increase gets green-channel approval from CCI
In short
MetLife International will increase its stake in PNB MetLife by 0.5% to 50.23% by buying shares from Jammu & Kashmir Bank. The CCI has cleared that deal through the green channel.
This matters because MetLife will control a bigger share of PNB MetLife. The report also says CCI is still reviewing Bain Capital’s investment in Millennia Realtors and the RMZ group, but it does not give a final outcome.
