such terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed between the parties.
The Joint Venture was subject to fulfillment / satisfaction of certain conditions precedent to ‘Closing' of the transaction and obtaining necessary approvals, including under Press Note No.3 (2020 series) dated 17th April, 2020 issued by the Ministry of Commerce, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.
