#Section 4 Competition Act

CCI clarifies that vertical agreements under Section 3(4) of the Competition Act require proof of dominance to establish anti-competitive practices. Dealers cannot challenge unilateral termination unless market power is demonstrated, reinforcing the threshold for abuse of dominance claims under Section 4. The ruling impacts automotive dealerships and vertical business relationships across sectors.

The Competition Commission of India ruled that mere dominance in the online ticketing market does not constitute abuse under Section 4 of the Competition Act unless there is evidence of market foreclosure or discriminatory conduct. The decision underscores that competitors must demonstrate anti-competitive effects, not just market share, to establish abuse of dominance.
