• Taxes: A profitable company can buy a loss maker to use the target's loss as their advantage by reducing their tax liability.
• Geographical or other diversification: This is designed to smooth the earnings results of a company, which over the long term smoothens the stock price of a company, giving conservative investors more confidence in investing in the company.
• Resource transfer: Resources are unevenly distributed across firms and the interaction of target and acquiring firm resources can create value through either overcoming information asymmetry or by combining scarce resources

- Future expansion would have had to be only in the rural areas, which would lead to falling average revenue per user (ARPU) and consequently lower returns on its investments
• HTIL also wanted to use the money earned through this deal to fund its businesses in Europe
• The sale of its interests in India will enable Hutchison Telecom to become one of Asia’s best capitalized companies
• Relations between Hutchison Telecom and the Essar group of India will be key to the sale of Hutch's 67% stake in Hutch-Essar

• HTIL financed the loan to minority shareholders Asim Ghosh & Analjith Singh for 15 % stake in Hutch-Essar
• The loan is a violation of External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) norms issued under FEMA. This is because the multi-layered transaction (for Ghosh and Singh's stake) has been funded by a local finance company, backed by a stand-by letter of credit issued by a Hong Kong entity at the instance of HTIL
• Since both the shareholders are fronting for HTIL, the 15 % minority shareholding is interpreted as foreign stake.

• Finance Bill 2008 also proposes to ensure that capital gains tax should be levied on acquisitions in India.
• Buyer will be responsible for paying the tax after purchasing any capital asset - a share or debenture of a company in India.
• The buyer will have to deduct TDS and failure to do so would leave him liable to pay the tax. The tax will have to be paid with a retrospective effect from June 2002.
• Department sent a notice to Vodafone, asking for about $1.7 billion as capital gains tax in the sale of 52% stake in Hutchison Essar to Vodafone
• It argues that the company should have deducted tax at source while making payment to HTIL
