CCI Dismisses Antitrust Complaint Against Jindal Stainless Over Supply Allegations
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) dismissed a complaint against Jindal Stainless Ltd and Indonesia-based Eternal Tsingshan Group alleging anti-competitive conduct in exclusive supply deals. The complainant claimed these arrangements restricted competitors' access to stainless steel slabs and hot-rolled coils. However, CCI found no prima facie evidence of violation, noting the availability of multiple domestic and international suppliers and no proof of supply denial or market foreclosure. The regulator also deemed Jindal Stainless's dealership program voluntary without exclusivity enforcement.
