Gunpowder Alerts has analyzed 13,825 M&A filings since February 2026 — 65% scored neutral, 23% positive, and the median materiality score is 5 out of 10.
Mergers and acquisitions are the highest-volume disclosure category in Gunpowder’s India corpus. Listed companies must disclose deal activity — acquisitions, stake purchases, demergers, schemes of arrangement — to NSE and BSE under SEBI’s LODR Regulation 30, and an acquisition that crosses the takeover thresholds triggers a mandatory open offer to public shareholders.
Every figure on this page is computed from the merger and acquisition disclosures analyzed by Gunpowder’s pipeline, which scores each filing for sentiment and materiality at analysis time. These are statistics about our analyzed corpus — a market-focused sample, not a census of every exchange announcement.
