Competition
Commission of India (CCI) has ordered investigation under Section 26(1) of the
Competition Act in respect of information filed by M/s Wardha Power Company
Limited (Informant) against Western Coalfields Limited (WCL) and Coal India
Limited (CIL). The Informant had alleged that WCL and CIL have abused their
dominant position and the various clauses of the Fuel Supply Agreement were
discriminatory.
The
Commission is of the opinion that prima facie case was made out against WCL and
CIL for investigation for contravention of Section 4 of the Competition Act and
it is a fit case to be investigated by DG. The report of DG is to be submitted
within 60 days from receipt of the order.
The
Commission has in the past also ordered investigations against Coal India
Limited and its subsidiaries for their alleged anti-competitive conduct in
similar Cases no. 05/2013, 07/2013, 37/2013 and 44/2013.
