NCLAT Rejects Sundaram Brakes' Appeal on Railways Tendering

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed a plea filed by Sundaram Brakes challenging a cease-and-desist order issued by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) regarding railway tendering. This decision marks a setback for Sundaram Brakes in its legal battle against the CCI's directives.

Sundaram Brakes had filed the appeal seeking relief from the CCI's order, which had directed the company to cease certain activities related to railway tendering. The CCI had issued the order based on allegations of anti-competitive practices by Sundaram Brakes in the railway tendering process.

However, the NCLAT has upheld the CCI's order, stating that there was sufficient evidence to support the allegations of anti-competitive behaviour by Sundaram Brakes. The tribunal found that Sundaram Brakes had violated competition laws and engaged in practices that were detrimental to fair competition in the railway tendering market.

This ruling by the NCLAT reinforces the authority of the CCI in regulating competition in the railway sector and ensuring a level playing field for all participants in the tendering process. It sends a strong message to companies operating in the industry that anti-competitive practices will not be tolerated and will be met with legal consequences.

The dismissal of Sundaram Brakes' appeal highlights the importance of adherence to competition laws and ethical business practices in the railway sector. It underscores the need for companies to conduct their operations in a transparent and fair manner to promote healthy competition and foster a conducive environment for all stakeholders involved in railway tendering.
