NCLAT Stays CCI Penalty on Intel Over India-Specific Warranty Policy

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has stayed the Rs 27.38 crore penalty imposed by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Intel Corporation for alleged anti-competitive practices related to its India-specific warranty policy for boxed microprocessors. Intel has challenged the February order and deposited 25% of the penalty. The tribunal noted Intel withdrew the policy effective April 1, 2024, and will propose how to publicize this. The next hearing is scheduled for April 24, 2026.
