The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has dismissed a complaint filed by United Breweries against the excise department of the Delhi government with regards to conditions imposed on liquor licence.
The firm in its complaint stated that each year under excise policy by the Government of NCT of Delhi, the department grants L-1 licence to eligible manufacturers for wholesale supply of various categories of Indian Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL). United Breweries alleged that conditions imposed by the excise department on L-1 licensees were ‘unfair and discriminatory’.
United Breweries (UBL) is maker of Kingfisher beer and Heineken beer in India.
