Zomato, Swiggy, Zepto face antitrust case over discounts

Indian consumer products distributors have filed a complaint with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) against Zomato’s Blinkit, Swiggy’s Instamart, and Zepto.

The All India Consumer Products Distributors Federation (AICPDF) alleges these firms engage in anti-competitive practices, including predatory pricing and deep discounting that harm smaller retailers.

The AICPDF represents 400,000 distributors who supply products from brands like Nestlé, Unilever, and Tata to 13 million retail shops across India.

The complaint highlights significant price discrepancies.
