DCI Submission to the India Ministry of Corporate Affairs on the Draft Digital Competition Bill

In its comments on the ‘Draft Digital Competition Bill’ for the Ministry Of Corporate Affairs, India, the Dynamic Competition Initiative (DCI) suggests that the Digital Competition Act should: 

  1. focus on commodification of core platform rents, where network effects create longstanding monopoly power, and
  2. incentivise platform exit from the monopoly sector by giving them the freedom to enter other, non-adjacent markets.
