Flipkart does not follow anti-competitive practices: CCI Member

MUMBAI, INDIA: A comment from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) executive yesterday has come has a sigh of relief for the e-tailers who have been pushed and shoved from many quarters.

Asked to comment on the constant truffle between the e-tailers and traditional retailers, and the alleged misuse of the e-commerce platform, MS Sahoo, Member, CCI, asserted that big e-commerce companies like Flipkart and others were not abusing their dominant position, and that no anti-competitive practices could be found per se against them.

Meanwhile, CCI is awaiting final views from the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to make an official comment on the net neutrality report recently submitted by a Department of Telecommunications (DoT) committee.

"We are not concerned about net neutrality at this point of time as TRAI is yet to firm up its mind. But we are keeping a watch on it and will act if it is found to be anti-competitive," Sahoo said.
