MeitY seeks inputs from industry, think tanks on digital competition bill

The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) met with prominent think tanks on Wednesday to take their inputs on the draft Digital Competition Bill (DCB), and its impact on the domestic start-ups.

“The ministry officials, including the MeitY secretary and members from the Competition Commission of India (CCI) asked the participants to submit their views on the proposed law. Broadly, the ministry wanted to seek inputs on how the law would impact the start-up ecosystem in the country, and whether there’s need for further consultation on the bill and evidence selection,” said a member of a think tank who attended the meeting.
