The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Wednesday ordered a detailed probe against IndiGo for unfair business practices, just over two months after the airline cancelled thousands of flights due to operational issues. ADVERTISEMENT"Such conduct by a dominant enterprise may be viewed as restricting the provision of services under Section 4(2)(b)(i) of the Act," the regulator said. Section 4 of the Competition Act pertains to abuse of dominant position. Noting that prima-facie the airline's conduct seems to be causing an appreciable adverse effect on competition in India, CCI ordered a detailed investigation by its Director General (DG). In early December, IndiGo faced massive operational disruptions, and the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) curtailed the airline's winter schedule by 10 per cent until February 10.
