India’s Competition Appellate Tribunal may jumpstart an investigation into allegations of a coal cartel after a complainant filed an appeal of the Competition Commission of India’s original decision not to probe the matter.
A lawyer had initially filed a complaint with the CCI against three coal companies accusing the firms of colluding to rig project contracts. The CCI decided against investigating the case but one judicial member found the complaint worthy of investigation.
