The Indian Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act was enacted in the era of restrictive economy. With the opening up of the economy in 1991, and subsequently the advent of the WTO in 1995, it was felt that the MRTP Act had outlived its utility and no longer served its purpose in the changed environment. While the new open market economy would ensure adequate competition,at the same time, experience in other countries had indicated that some enterprises do try to undermine the market by resorting to anti–competitive practices. Hence, it was felt that such practices could nullify the gains from competition, which could be answered only by having a new competition law. Accordingly,the Competition Act 2002 was enacted. However, only some parts of the Act are in force and the entire Act is yet to become operative. This article will make a modest attempt to discuss this new competition regime, its scope, ambit and various dimensions, and to explain whether it will face further new challenges due to dynamism in international trade and economic laws in the era of irreversible globalisation.}, recid = {24933}, pages = {1 volume ([21] pages) ;}, }
