Dubai government-run global port operator, DP World, has filed a written petition in the High Court in Mumbai, challenging an interim order of the Competition Commission of India (CCI) to probe alleged anti-competitive practices on a complaint filed by PSA International, its rival at the Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (JNPT).
The CCI last month announced it suspected alleged antitrust violations by DP World and Denmark’s A.P. Moller-Maersk at the terminals they operate at state-owned JNPT.
DP World is challenging the November 9 interim order, arguing that the antitrust regulator has “no jurisdiction” over the issue on which Singapore government-owned PSA International had filed the complaint, at least two people familiar with the writ petition filed by DP World said.
In the complaint, PSA alleged that DP World and the container port operating unit of A.P. Moller-Maersk, which have been running facilities at JNPT for many years, were creating entry barriers to its newly-opened terminal at India’s busiest container gateway, thereby limiting its operational effectiveness since the February 18 start.
