What is the CCI order against Maruti Suzuki?

Back in 2021, CCI had imposed a penalty of ₹200 crore on Maruti Suzuki for restricting discounts by dealers.

This case was taken up by CCI based on an anonymous e-mail dated November 17, 2017. The e-mail alleged that the ‘Discount Control Policy’ implemented by Maruti Suzuki restricts dealers from giving discounts to their customers beyond the discounts prescribed by the company, and dealers providing extra discounts were punished by levying a penalty and/or the restriction of supply.
