Govt to bring Digital Competition Bill after due process: Harsh Malhotra

The Indian government is not in a hurry to bring the Digital Competition Bill and wants to follow due process with further deliberations on the proposed legislation before introducing it, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs Harsh Malhotra said on Sunday.

Speaking at the 10th National Conference on Economics of Competition Law in New Delhi, he underlined the need for further studying the best practices on digital competition laws in other jurisdictions such as the European Union, Japan, and Australia to assess their relevance to the Indian market.
