ABOUT SEMINAR

 

Concept Note:

Competition among firms for a larger share of the market leads to internal efficiency in the firm and lower prices for the consumers. So it is advantageous to not only buyers but also to sellers. Innovation, cost-efficiency, buyer-centric approach are few benefits of healthy competition in market.

A market which is not perfect competition, self-interest of strong players may result in artificial manipulation of supply and price. This calls for competition policy in overall economic policy. Competition Policy concentrates to promote business environment which improves static and dynamic efficiencies, leading to efficient resource allocation and curbing of abuse of market power.

Competition law and competition policy are required to strengthen the forces of competition in the market. This Conference would discuss the challenges in Competition Act, 2002, both in law and implementation, and improvement in  competition Policy.
