On April 16, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) cleared Adani Enterprises Ltd and Adani Green Energy Limited in a case concerning a tender from the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI). The CCI determined that there was no prima facie evidence of anti-competitive conduct or abuse of dominance, closing the case under Section 26(2) of the Competition Act. Allegations suggested that the SECI tender favored large players like the Adani Group, but the CCI found these claims unsubstantiated, noting that the broader power generation market includes significant competitors such as NTPC, Tata Power, and JSW Energy. The Commission emphasized that the design of tender conditions is the prerogative of the procurer and highlighted that no substantial evidence was presented to support claims of collusion or market manipulation. Additionally, allegations of bribery were deemed insufficient to indicate abusive conduct, leading to the conclusion that the issues raised did not pose competition concerns.
