#CCI order

CCI found no prima facie violation of the Competition Act in the complaint that the mandatory shift to FIPS-140-3 favoured a single token vendor, dismissing the alleged abuse of dominance claim. The ruling clears the way for MeitY's migration mandate, affecting the Controller of Certifying Authorities, Precision Biometric and other token manufacturers.

The Competition Commission of India found that the solar power bidding process did not constitute abuse of dominance because the tender design permitted open participation, the relevant market was properly defined to exclude non-solar energy sources, and no anti-competitive conduct was demonstrated by Adani or SECI. This sets a critical precedent for renewable energy procurement, affirming that market structure and transparent bidding protocols can preclude dominance concerns even with major players.
