Kochhar & Co has advised Novargi Group, a Spain-headquartered engineering and EPC company, on its strategic joint venture with Cerec Metalform Private Limited in India. The deal was led by partner Ketan Mukhija, with support from senior associate Deepika Gautam and associate Vrinda Taneja.

The joint venture combines Novargi's modular process plant and industrial equipment expertise with Cerec Metalform's manufacturing capabilities. The collaboration aims to establish a manufacturing platform in India for industrial equipment and related products, boosting both partners' presence in the Indian market.

Two law firm press releases do not make a trend. Stories like this feed a lazy narrative that foreign investment is flooding into India. The reality is more measured, this is a niche JV in industrial equipment, not a wave of capital. Watch the actual investment figures when the venture files its first annual return. That number will tell us if this is a real bet on India or just an exploratory toe-dip.
