Publicis Challenges India's Antitrust Probe Over Legal Entity Naming Dispute
France's Publicis has challenged India's Competition Commission (CCI) in court, arguing that the antitrust regulator incorrectly named its global brand, Publicis Groupe, instead of its Indian legal entity, TLG India, in a major investigation. This dispute has delayed the probe into alleged collusion on advertising rates among major agencies. The CCI is considering adding the Indian unit to the case. The broader investigation could impact advertising pricing and practices in India’s media industry.
