The Competition Commission of India (CCI) yesterday dismissed an allegation made against Indian oil firms – BPCL, IOCL, and HPCL – pertaining to unfair business practices. The unidentified complainants had blamed the oil majors of putting on anti-competitive terms in the notice seeking tenders floated "identically/ jointly/ parallelly" in different states. Concerns were also raised on the introduction of an identical price band within which bidders were forced to quote.
