Maruti: Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Thursday ordered an investigation into allegations that Maruti Suzuki controls the resale price maintenance arrangement with dealers. India’s antitrust body has said that it is looking into allegations that Maruti forces its dealers to limit the discounts they offer, effectively stifling competition among them and harming the consumers. Resale price maintenance refers to an arrangement between a buyer and seller wherein the resale price is stipulated by the seller. The CCI has now asked its investigations unit to complete the probe within 150 days.

KRBL Limited: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has attached properties worth Rs15.32 crore under Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002 (PMLA) belonging to KRBL Ltd in connection with 2008 Embraer deal case. The attached assets include land and rice mill factory located at Tehsil Dhuri, District Sangrur, Punjab.

Tata Sponge Iron: Usha Martin has said that it has completed the transfer of the operative iron-ore mine and coal mine under development to Tata Sponge Iron.

Hindalco Industries: European anti-trust has raised objections on Kumar Mangalam Birla’s Hindalco Industries plans to buy aluminium producer Aleris Corp to expand as a supplier to the car industry. Novelis in a statement has said that the European Commission has sent it a statement of objections to proposed purchase. Regulators said in March that they were worried the deal could lead to less choice for consumers and higher prices for aluminium sheets used to make cars.
