Competition Commission issues norms to assess predatory pricing practices

Competition Commission of India (CCI) has notified the regulations for determining the cost of production, a move that will help the watchdog to more effectively assess alleged predatory pricing and deep discounting practices especially in the quick commerce and e-commerce segments. As part of efforts to update the framework for assessing predatory pricing, the watchdog came out with the draft rules in February. After stakeholders' consultations, the Competition Commission of India (Determination of Cost of Production) Regulations, 2025 have been notified. The development also assumes significance against the backdrop of CCI looking at some complaints of unfair business practices made against quick commerce as well as e-commerce players. Competition law prohibits predatory pricing as an abusive conduct by a dominant enterprise. CCI now has a strong regulatory framework to deal with alleged predatory pricing and deep discounting activities in the market place. It will also help in

Global trends, trading activity of FPIs key factors to drive mkt sentiments

Movement in the stock market this week will largely be driven by global trends, macroeconomic data announcements and trading activity of foreign investors, analysts said. Equity benchmark indices, which are on a dream run for the past several days, will also track trading in global oil benchmark Brent crude and movement of rupee against the US dollar. "The next FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting is scheduled for mid-September, but before that, the market will be closely watching upcoming US economic data. Key indicators like manufacturing PMI, non-farm payrolls, and unemployment rate will be released this week, all of which could significantly influence market sentiment. "Institutional flows will play a critical role," said Santosh Meena, Head of Research, Swastika Investmart Ltd.

Stock market future trajectory depends on new govt's policies, GDP growth

Future trajectory of stock market hinges on the new government's economic policies, with factors like GDP growth, inflation, and global conditions playing a key role, experts said on Tuesday. With the BJP-led NDA still looking to form a government, though with the important support of coalition partners, markets look jittery about the prospects of strong decision making. In fact, experts cautioned investors to be prepared for volatility due to currently high valuations and suggested adopting a diversified approach. Benchmark equity indices Sensex and Nifty tanked over 8 per cent in intra-day on Tuesday and later ended nearly 6 per cent lower, suffering their worst decline in four years, as trends showed the ruling BJP is short of clear majority in the Lok Sabha elections. Sensex crashed 4,389.73 points to settle at 72,079.05 and Nifty tanked 1,379.40 points to 21,884.50. However, markets jumped sharply on Monday after exit polls predicted a massive win for the BJP-led NDA in the Lo
