An Indian government panel on antitrust regulation has recommended faster clearances for mergers and acquisitions that do not stifle competition, but is silent on the curbs placed on e-commerce companies last year.

It also stated that M&As arising from restructuring of bankrupt companies under the bankruptcy code are also eligible for faster clearance.
