CCI Appeals to Supreme Court Against NCLAT Order Quashing Penalty on Grasim
India's Competition Commission (CCI) has appealed to the Supreme Court against the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal's (NCLAT) May order that quashed a ₹300 crore penalty imposed on Grasim Industries for alleged abuse of dominance in the viscose staple fibre market. The CCI had penalized Grasim in 2020 for discriminatory pricing and restrictive conditions on buyers. The tribunal set aside the penalty, citing lack of opportunity for Grasim to defend itself, and remanded the case to CCI for reconsideration.
