A new antitrust complaint has been filed against Amazon India by a group of small online sellers, details of which have been sought by the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
A representative of the group called Aiova filed the complaint on August 10, 2020, accusing Amazon India of anti-competitive practices such as preferential treatment equity holding sellers such as Amazon Retail and Cloudtail, The Times of India reported.
The CCI had called for the details in December 2020, as per communications seen by the paper, but the matter was not reported before.
As per a CCI note, it has asked for “latest data or screenshots with respect to discounts offered by alleged preferred sellers on the Amazon marketplace across product categories” and should include product details, seller details and results of the organic shopping page. It has also asked for the search to not be set for specific preferred sellers.
