Abstract

India is hailed as a green-field competition regime. However, India’s competition law jurisprudence is older than many of its developing country counterparts. The (erstwhile)Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969 (“MRTP Act”) was the first competition related legislation of India followed by the later enactment of the Competition Act, 2002 (“Act”). This Article provides for a comparative snapshot between the Indian competition law framework and that of the United States and discusses the provisions with specific reference to Anti-Competitive Agreements. It embarks on a comparative analysis of the two regimes. The Paper concludes by highlighting the similarities and differences that exist between the two jurisdictions and the lessons to be learnt therefrom.
