Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to explore various horizons of Merger and Acquisitions related to the Indian Petrochemical sector in particular. This includes various aspects of Merger and Acquisitions providing the basic terminologies involved. To highlight the impact of M&A on the companies a case study on Reliance Industries Ltd. and IPCL has been taken into account. It compares the position of the company during the pre and post merger period with the help of financial parameters like the ratio analysis which include Return on Total Assets (ROTA), Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), Return on Equity (ROE), Gross Profit Margin, Net Profit Margin, and Debt-Equity Ratio. This study also takes into account the independent t-test for testing the statistical significance and this test is applied not only for the ratio analysis but also to test the effect of Merger and Acquisitions on the performance of RIL. All these calculations are completely based on the data available from the company financial data.
