India top court says antitrust probe of Amazon, Walmart’s Flipkart should continue

Reuters2021-08-09

NEW DELHI, Aug 9 (Reuters) - India's Supreme Court on Monday said an antitrust investigation into business practices of Amazon.com Inc and Walmart's Flipkart must continue, rejecting demands of the two e-commerce giants to put them on hold.

The Competition Commission of India ordered the investigation in 2020 against the companies for allegedly promoting select sellers on their e-commerce platforms and using business practices that stifle competition. The companies deny any wrongdoing and have repeatedly tried to mount legal challenges against the investigation.

The three-judge Supreme Court bench said companies like Amazon and Flipkart should volunteer for such investigations.

    India has had issues with twitter and google before as well but they were not prevented from expanding further. I think regardless of this news, amazon will keep expanding in india.
