The liberalization of the Indian economy opened the market to foreign players, creating the need for legislation to regulate the competitive environment and prevent anti-competitive practices of undertakings that would have an impact on markets. Thus, the Competition Act, 2002 was enacted, repealing the erstwhile Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969, which had become archaic and did not suit the present needs. “Conceptual Foundations of Competition Law in India” is a succinct text on the Competition Act, 2002. It encapsulates the legal provisions pertaining to cartels, abuse of dominance and combination regulation along with relevant case law in India. It provides a comparative analysis of competition law or anti-trust law in various jurisdictions, including the U.S. and the E.U. This book is a ready reckoner for corporate lawyers, students as well member of the business community in whose interest the law has been enacted.
