Dear Mr. Iranna
 
I think there is a small confusion in your query. Mr. A, as you wrote, is already a director in company ABC Private Limited.
 
If it is XYZ private limited, in which Mr. A is proposed to be appointed, then you may have to get approval from the Central Government for sale or purchase of goods between the said companies as section 297 is attracted. (paid-up capital 1 crore rupees) 
 
Board's approval is also necessary.  

Warm Regards

Dear All

But the logic here is the Companies have already have some running/existing contract for the transactions before Mr. A becomes
the  Director of the other Company the Section will not apply.

Dear Vivek
 
Section 299 (2) (b) states that if a director becomes concerned or interested in any contract or arrangement after he becomes director in any other company then the director should disclose his interest in the contract at the first board meeting held after becoming the director in other company.
 
Therefore I believe even for a running contract the section applies to continue the contract.
