Competition Law and Antitrust Law

The Supreme Court of India (SC) set aside the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI) penalty order dated 17 December 2021 (CCI Order) and the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal’s (NCLAT) judgment dated 13 June 2022 in Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC v Competition Commission of India & Ors.

The Supreme Court’s recent decision in the NSE Co-Location Case has emerged as one of the most important developments in Indian competition law and abuse of dominance jurisprudence in recent years.

The Competition Commission of India examines allegations against the Venkateshwara Hatcheries Group concerning potential abuse of dominant position and anti-competitive practices in India's commercial poultry sector. People for Animals claims the vertically integrated enterprise leverages significant market power across breeding, feed production, and distribution of layer hens and broiler chickens.
