Highlighting that competition is the life force of markets that creates the best incentives for businesses to increase efficiency, drives their productivity and fuels innovation, Ashok Kumar Gupta, Chairperson, Competition Commission of India (CCI) has said that regulatory oversight should be regularly fine-tuned with changing times to suit the dynamic business environment, especially in the present digital world.
Gupta also said “Despite its all-encompassing benefits, healthy competition may not emerge on its own. Even the most ardent votaries of a market economy recognise that liberalised markets cannot be presumed to be competitive and efficient”.
Besides, Gupta explained that without oversight and necessary intervention, we could witness a chaotic environment, where dominant firms misuse their market power to fence out competition, cartels drive up prices or anti-competitive mergers weaken the competitive structure of markets, resulting in businesses getting affected and consumers being deprived of value for money. He said “The objective of CCI is to bring about market corrections where fair competition is found to be hindered due to anti-competitive conduct”.
