The year 2022 was a pivotal year for competition law in India as it established that correcting anti-competitive practices in the digital market is a regulatory priority. In line with this objective, not only did the CCI (in line with its global counterparts) initiate investigations against many technology companies but also imposed hefty penalties. Further, the Government is also doing its part by expanding the scope of the current framework as well as deliberating passing a new law (namely the Digital Competition Act) to adequately address the challenges posed by technology companies. INDUSLAW’s Avimukt Dar, Unnati Agrawal, Yash Lahoty, Swapnil Singh and Hrishav Kumar present an overview of the key developments in the Indian competition law sphere in 2022.
