"We should get around ₹3,700 crore of AUM from IDBI MF, which when added to our AUM of upwards of ₹18,400 crore, gives a combined AUM of around ₹22,200 crore, which is dynamic depending on the market movement," said T. S. Ramakrishnan, MD & CEO of LIC MF AMC.

Anti-monopoly regulator Competition Commission of India (CCI) approved LIC MF’s acquisition of 20 schemes of IDBI MF in March. Ten of the schemes, which are common, will be merged with existing schemes of LIC MF, while the rest will be added taking LIC MF’s total schemes to 38.
