CCI cracks down on HP India-led cartel in government procurement
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Monday held tech giant HP India liable for orchestrating bid-rigging through its 16 authorised resellers in the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) tenders. The CCI found the firm guilty of cover bidding, price fixing, and dividing the tenders among themselves for supplying printer ink and toner cartridges between 2017 and 2020.
