Digital competition law after due process, says Union Minister Harsh Malhotra

The digital competition law will be brought out after following the due process, Union Minister Harsh Malhotra said on Sunday. More than 100 suggestions have been received on the draft Digital Competition Bill (DCB), which was put out for public consultations by the corporate affairs ministry last year.

Malhotra, the Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, said the report from the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MEITY) on the bill is awaited. “We are not in a hurry (on bringing the digital competition law) (we will follow) due process,” the minister said.
