CCI imposes Rs 27 Crores penalty on Intel Corp. for abuse of dominance through India-specific warranty policy on boxed microprocessors
CCI noted that warranty is an important factor when buying a boxed microprocessor, as it protects against defects and gives consumers confidence. Intel’s data from 2016—2021 shows failures do occur, so denying warranty in India for products bought abroad harms consumers and creates adverse effects on competition.
