About CCI

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is the statutory body entrusted with safeguarding competition and regulating market practices in India. Constituted under the Competition Act, 2002, the CCI seeks to ensure a competitive economic environment in which businesses can compete freely and consumers benefit from competitive markets. It addresses practices such as cartels, abuse of dominant position, and collusive tendering, while also scrutinising mergers, acquisitions, and other combinations that may adversely affect competition. Through its regulatory, investigative, and advocacy functions, the CCI promotes market efficiency, innovation, fair pricing, and consumer welfare.
