Parliamentary Panel Supports Ex-Ante Framework in Digital Competition Bill
A Parliamentary Committee has recommended adopting an ex-ante regulatory framework in the forthcoming Digital Competition Bill to proactively address anti-competitive practices by major digital platforms. The Ministry of Corporate Affairs is conducting a market study to set thresholds for systemically important firms and evaluate the impact of such regulations. The ex-ante approach aims to prevent issues like self-preferencing and predatory pricing before they occur, contrasting with the traditional ex-post enforcement under the Competition Act, 2002.
