In recent years, the Indian Competition Law regime has undergone several changes and developments. To start with, in June 2021, the CCI released guidelines on e-commerce regulations, which aim to ensure fair competition in the rapidly growing e-commerce sector in India. Additionally, the Indian government introduced significant changes to the merger control regime in March 2021, such as increasing the thresholds for filing combinations and introducing a Green Channel route for certain combinations.

Moreover, the CCI has been conducting a market study on the e-commerce sector to assess the competition scenario and potential abuse of dominance, and in August 2021, it introduced significant changes to the leniency program to promote self-reporting of anti-competitive practices.

One of the main issues in competition law in India is the prevalence of anti-competitive agreements and cartels, and another issue is the abuse of dominant position by a dominant firm in the market. Additionally, mergers and acquisitions that may have an adverse impact on competition in the market is another issue in competition law in India.

The solution to these issues lies in the effective implementation of the Competition Act and the enforcement of its provisions. This involves raising awareness of competition law among businesses and consumers, strengthening the capacity of the CCI to investigate and take action against anti-competitive practices, abuse of dominant position, and mergers and acquisitions that may have an adverse impact on competition in the market, and promoting a culture of competition in the market.

Overall, the Indian Competition Law regime is evolving rapidly to keep pace with the changing business environment and emerging technologies. The CCI has been proactive in ensuring fair competition in various sectors and promoting a competitive market in India.
