 "Competition Commission open to probe Flipkart, Amazon separately")
The Competition Commission of India is open to considering the allegations against Flipkart and Amazon as separate cases, based on its investigations, a senior official told Business Standard.
The two e-commerce giants are currently named in a single complaint, which is being probed by the anti-competition watchdog. “Initially it is the same set of questions that would be asked of both companies.
Prima facie, it looks like a similar case. Based on the responses, the investigation can proceed as a separate or a single case,” added the senior official. The two e-commerce companies are facing allegations of promoting select sellers on their websites and deep discounting practices to drive out competition.
