News this week: Live Mint & The Wall Street Journal reported this
week that the Competition Commission of India (CCI) fined the India Trade Promotion Organisation
(ITPO) US$1.1 million for “abuse of a dominant position.”
ITPO is an Indian government trade promotion agency which
among other activities organises exhibitions and owns and operates some key
venues in India including Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.
The case stems from a complaint filed by the Indian Exhibition Industry Association (IEIA)
that alleged that in 2006 and 2007, the ITPO arbitrarily imposed “time gap
restrictions” on two successive exhibitions “having similar product profiles/
coverage.”
