E-Commerce and Capital Dumping

Abstract

Capital dumping is a new phenomenon. As the name suggests, it means the dumping of capital or resources. In the context of competition law and e-commerce, it is an evolving and highly debatable subject. So far, CCI has been silent on it and has yet not taken any stand. In order to address the concept of capital dumping alleged to be practiced by the e-commerce market players, it is necessary to understand the meaning, nature and rationale of dumping, anti-dumping, predatory pricing and FDI policy in e-commerce sector.
