ABOUT COMPETITION COMMISSION OF INDIA
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is a statutory body established under the Competition Act of 2002 to enforce and promote competition in the Indian market. The CCI is responsible for preventing practices that have an adverse effect on competition, such as anti-competitive agreements, abuse of dominant position, and anti-competitive mergers and acquisitions. The Commission also ensures that Indian businesses and consumers have a level playing field and that they are not impacted by anti-competitive behaviour.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
Competition Law in India has become an increasingly relevant and dynamic field, with recent developments and reforms aimed at promoting fair competition and protecting the interests of consumers. In recent years, several contemporary issues have arisen in the Indian competition law landscape, such as the intersection between competition law and intellectual property, the role of competition law in the digital economy, and the treatment of abuse of dominance and restrictive trade practices. These issues are critical to the development of a robust competition regime in India and require continuous examination and discussion.
Thus, “CARCIL’s National Conference on Anti-Trust Laws” provides a platform to engage in such discussions and to gain a deeper understanding of the current state of competition law in India and its future direction. It is a unique opportunity for participants to exchange ideas, share insights, and build new relationships with peers and experts from around the world. With a focus on cutting-edge research and practical applications, the conference will provide attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing Anti-trust law today, and equip them with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in this rapidly evolving field.
