CAIT Accuses CCI of Inaction in Amazon & Flipkart Probe

• The Confederation of All India Traders (CAIT) accuses the Competition Commission of India (CCI) of mishandling investigations into Amazon and Flipkart.
• CAIT alleges these ecommerce giants have been bypassing regulations, using proxy sellers to control inventory and dominate listings.
• The body criticises the CCI for not taking decisive action on numerous complaints, and for separating investigations into Amazon and Flipkart, prolonging the process.
• CAIT also expresses concerns about alleged bias within the CCI’s antitrust division, suggesting favouritism towards the ecommerce giants.
• CAIT recently released a white paper, calling for a dedicated ecommerce regulator to address unfair trade practices in the Indian ecommerce market.
