Tata Motors Cleared of Antitrust Charges

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has cleared Tata Motors (TML) in two cases of anti-competitive practices in 2019 and 2020 in its commercial vehicles (CV) unit.

There was no sufficient material on record for the commission to infer that TML engaged in anti-competitive practices, leading to an adverse effect on competition.

In its order for the 2019 case and the 2020 case, the commission said that the evidence relied upon by the Director General (DG) in arriving at a finding of contravention of Section 3(4)(c) neither proves that TML prohibits passive sales nor has TML imposed any penalty on its authorised dealers for selling outside their allocated territory.

It added that although one of the authorised dealers, Puneet Automobiles, had submitted that TML had imposed a huge penalty on its dealers over territory restrictions, there is nothing on record to substantiate it.

In the 2019 case, a certain Neha Gupta had blamed TML, Tata Capital Financial Services, and Tata Motors Finance for contravention of provisions of Sections 3 and 4 of the Act. In the 2020 case, Nishant P Bhutada (proprietor of Kanchan Motors) made similar allegations.

Tata Motors remains in the fast lane when it comes to electric vehicles (EVs). The Tata group is leading India's EV revolution, and Tata Motors has remained at the forefront.

Also, the electric vehicle (EV) megatrend is a once-in-a-century revolution happening right in front of us.

The revolution has taken the auto sector by storm. All segments of the sector are ripe for disruption, and India's top EV stocks are set to benefit from this shift.

The shares of the company are making back-to-back record highs. To know why, check out Why Tata Motors' share price is rising.
