Competition Commission of India (CCI):<\/strong>\u00a0CCI has dismissed allegations of abuse of dominant position against Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd. in terms of after-sales\u00a0services while observing that the issue raised in the information pertained to alleged deficiency in services and no case of\u00a0contravention of the provisions of Section 4 of the Competition Act was made out against Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0information before the Commission was filed against Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd. alleging contravention of the provisions\u00a0of Section 4 of the Act. Section 4 of the Competition Act pertains to abuse of dominant position. It was alleged that Toyota\u00a0Motors indulged in monopolistic trade practices by selling a car through its dealer in Patna with bad engine performance and\u00a0also failed to provide proper pre-delivery inspection (PDI). Unavailability of spare parts was also alleged. After hearing the\u00a0parties, CCI considered \u201cmarket of sports utility vehicles in India\u201d as the relevant market and observed that as there are other\u00a0manufacturers with comparable size and resources and there exists choice for the consumers in the relevant market, Toyota does\u00a0not possess such market power so as to act independently of competitive forces prevailing in the relevant market or to affect its\u00a0competitors or consumers in its favour. \u201cThe dispute in question between the Informant and OP (Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt.\u00a0Ltd.) appears to be purely a consumer issue for which the Informant may approach the appropriate forum,\u201d noted the\u00a0Commission while dismissing the allegations against Toyota Kirloskar Motors and closed the matter. [Dr. Ravi Bhushan Sharma\u00a0v. Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd., 2016 SCC OnLine CCI 75<\/a>, decided on December 6, 2016]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
