Section 4 Competition Act | No Prima Facie Abuse of Dominance Where Tender Design Allows Multiple Bidders & Market Definition Excludes Non-Solar Sources : CCI
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.
