The Law of Competition (India)

In an era of rapidly evolving markets and increasing globalization, understanding competition law is essential for legal professionals, regulators, business leaders, and students alike. This course offers a comprehensive exploration of the Competition Act, 2002, India’s key legislation governing anti-competitive practices, market dominance, and fair trade.

Designed to build both theoretical clarity and practical understanding, the course begins with the historical evolution of competition law—tracing its roots from common law principles to India’s modern regulatory framework. You will explore the legislative architecture of the Act, understand how anti-competitive agreements and abuse of dominance are identified, and gain insights into predatory pricing, restrictive trade practices, and relevant market definitions.

With dedicated modules on the institutional framework, including the role and powers of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) and the Director General, the course also addresses recent legal and economic developments, enforcement mechanisms, and regulatory amendments.

This course is ideal for law students, advocates, corporate legal teams, policymakers, economists, and civil service aspirants seeking a clear and actionable understanding of how competition is regulated in India.

By the end of this course, you will be equipped to analyze market behavior, assess anti-competitive conduct, and navigate the enforcement mechanisms under Indian competition law with confidence.
