The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has started investigation into alleged cartelisation by oil marketing companies in fixing petrol prices to ascertain whether the pricing by companies is done in a particular manner.
Earlier, the fair trade regulator CCI had asked the Petroleum Ministry to find out that petrol pricing by companies is done in a particular manner under the guidance of the Ministry, as petrol prices are almost close to each other and they moved up or down at the same point in time. However, the petroleum ministry clarified that it was not responsible for petrol prices since it is deregulated.
The Director General, an investigation arm of the Competition Commission of India (CCI), is probing the issue. The CCI refers cases to the Director General only when it is convinced that there is prima facie evidence of violating competition norms.
