In separate releases on Wednesday, CCI said it has cleared the stake purchases by Blackstone and TPG Capital in the company.

BXG Xenon HoldCo Ltd, controlled by funds advised and/ or managed by affiliates of Blackstone Inc, will acquire a stake in Busybees.


The acquirer is a newly incorporated entity and at present does not have any business operations.

Deals beyond a certain threshold require the approval of CCI, which keeps a tab on unfair business practices in the market place.
