Manipal Hospitals and Sahyadri Hospitals said the "proposed transaction does not have any impact on any relevant market in India, let alone any appreciable adverse effect on competition (AAEC), and therefore, the definition of the relevant product and geographic market may ultimately be left open. In any event, in order to aid and assist the CCI in its assessment".
Last month, Manipal Hospitals announced that it had inked definitive agreements with Ontario Teachers' for the acquisition.

The Bengaluru-based healthcare major said the acquisition of Sahyadri Hospitals will bring Manipal's total bed count to about 12,000, making it one of India's largest hospital networks.
The acquisition will add 11 hospitals to Manipal's network across Pune, Nashik, Ahilya Nagar and Karad, increasing its total number of hospitals to 49, it added.
Through this acquisition, Manipal said it will expand its presence in western India, in line with its strategy to augment its pan-India footprint.
"With the strong partnership of our valued stakeholders like Temasek and our other investors, we are excited to grow our operations and bring Manipal's trusted brand of quality healthcare to many more patients," Manipal Health Enterprises MD and CEO Dilip Jose said.
Manipal Education and Medical Group (MEMG) Chairman Ranjan Pai said the acquisition will strengthen Manipal's presence in western India.
"With this expansion, Manipal Hospitals will have a network of approximately 12,000 beds nationwide, solidifying our position as one of the largest hospital chains in India," he added.
Manipal Hospitals is backed by Temasek, a global investment company, headquartered in Singapore, with a net portfolio value of around USD 324 billion as of March 31, 2025.
A global investor with net assets of USD 266.3 billion as of December 31, 2024, Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan Board (Ontario Teachers') acquired a majority stake in Sahyadri in 2022.
The Pune-based hospital chain is now one of Maharashtra's largest, with 11 hospitals and over 1,400 beds.

NITI Aayog conducting evaluation study of MGNREGS, minister tells LS

THE NITI Aayog, the government's premier think tank, is conducting an evaluation study of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), the government informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. In a written reply to a question, Union Minister of State of Rural Development Kamlesh Paswan informed the House that the Development, Monitoring and Evaluation Office (DMEO), NITI Aayog, has recently taken up the evaluation study of the scheme. The development is significant as it comes at a time when the Ministry of Rural Development has circulated a proposal seeking approval of the Expenditure Finance Committee (EFC) for continuation of MGNREGS and an outlay for Rs 5.23 lakh crore till financial year 2029-30, a period that coincides with the next Finance Commission (16th) cycle. The EFC is a central body that appraises government schemes and projects; it comes under the Ministry of Finance. Replying to a question by CPI(ML)L member Sudama Prasad, Paswan said, 'The Internal Audit Wing (IAW) under the Office of the Chief Controller of Accounts (CCA) has been conducting Risk-Based Internal Audits of MGNREGS implementation in states since FY 2013-14… Risk-Based Internal Audits of MGNREGS have been conducted in 225 districts of 30 states/UTs since 2013-14.' 'Further, Amarjeet Sinha Committee was constituted in 2021 to examine various factors affecting demand for wage employment in the rural sector in different parts of the country and to study/analyse the trends of expenditure across states under MGNREGS along with reasons for inter-state variations with specific focus on governance issues. The report of the Committee has since been received and some of the recommendations have been identified for appropriate action,' Paswan said, sharing details of the internal audits and review of the MGNREGS conducted in recent years. 'In addition to this, DMEO, NITI Aayog, too has recently taken up an evaluation study of MGNREGS,' he said. The NITI Aayog conducted the last evaluation study of the MGNREGS in 2019-20. At the time, the think tank had also conducted the evaluation study of five other schemes. 'The study focused on the effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability of these schemes, including the MGNREGS, to gauge their overall contribution to the national rural economy,' Paswan said. The evaluation study by NITI Aayog is crucial for getting approval of the EFC, said a source. The Ministry of Finance has told all ministries and departments that no Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS) or Central Sector Scheme (CS) will be considered for continuation beyond March 31, 2026, unless a third-party evaluation of the scheme is carried out. Sources say that the EFC approval and appraisal is part of the Centre's exercise to evaluate and approve its schemes for the next Finance Commission cycle. The MGNREGS is backed by law and therefore the EFC approval is just a formality.

Two Chinese nationals in California accused of illegally shipping Nvidia AI chips to China

-Two Chinese nationals were arrested in California and charged with illegally shipping tens of millions of dollars' worth of AI chips to China, including Nvidia H100s, the U.S. Justice Department said Tuesday. Chuan Geng, 28, of Pasadena, and Shiwei Yang, 28, of El Monte, exported the advanced Nvidia chips and other technology to China from October 2022 through July 2025 without obtaining the required licenses from the U.S. Commerce Department, a criminal complaint says. According to the complaint, Geng and Yang's El Monte-based company, ALX Solutions Inc, was founded in 2022, shortly after the U.S. imposed sweeping export controls on technology to China and began to require licenses for the chips. A spokesperson for Nvidia declined comment. Over 20 shipments from ALX solutions went to shipping and freight forwarding companies in Singapore and Malaysia, which are often used as transshipment points for illegal goods to China. ALX received a $1 million payment from a China-based company in January 2024 and other payments from companies in Hong Kong and China, not the freight forwarding companies. Nvidia H100s are advanced chips that can be used to train large language models and for other applications, such as developing self-driving cars and medical diagnosis systems. Records show that from at least August 2023 to July 2024, ALX Solutions bought over 200 Nvidia H100 chips from San Jose, Calif-based server maker Super Micro Computer, declaring that the end users were in Singapore and Japan. Super Micro did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In addition to Nvidia's H100s, the pair are accused of illegally shipping Nvidia video graphics cards known as PNY GE Force RTX 4090, which also require a license for export to China. Geng and Yang appeared in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles late Monday, according to the Justice Department. Geng, a permanent resident, was released on $250,000 bond. Yang, who overstayed her visa, has a detention hearing on August 12. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
