Firstpost  

Hindustan Zinc Ltd in a complaint had alleged that Coal India abused its dominant position by imposing unilateral and unfair conditions in the fuel supply agreements New Delhi: The Competition Commission of India has dismissed a complaint against state-owned Coal India and its subsidiary, Western Coalfields, alleging unfair business practices regarding fuel supply agreements. Udaipur-based Hindustan Zinc Ltd in a complaint had alleged that Coal India abused its dominant position by imposing unilateral and unfair conditions in the fuel supply agreements and acted in a discriminatory manner during the supply of coal. Besides, the issues highlighted by the complainant regarding “sampling procedure, grade slippage/mis-declaration of grades” have been substantially addressed by previously issuing appropriate directions to Coal India and its subsidiaries, CCI noted. Hence, the case stands disposed of in terms of directions issued by the Commission in the previous cases decided against Coal India and its subsidiaries, CCI said.
