The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has approved the Tata Group's proposal to acquire a majority stake in the online grocer BigBasket.
Tata Digital, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Tata Group, had sought CCI nod for acquisition of 64.3 per cent stake in the Supermarket Grocery Supplies (SGS) Private Limited, through a combination of primary and secondary share purchases.
