Cartelization, the unlawful collaboration of competitors to restrict competition, constitutes a serious antitrust violation detrimental to consumers, businesses, and the economy. Due to divergent legal frameworks, complex jurisdictional challenges, and the necessity for coordination among multiple competition authorities, the operation of cartels across international borders presents unique regulatory and enforcement challenges in India. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of cross-border cartelization and its regulation within the Indian legal context. The Competition Commission of India’s sector-neutral approach to addressing anti-competitive behaviour has facilitated the implementation of pro-competitive reforms across various industries. In this regard, the Commission has demonstrated a strong commitment to combating cartelization. This paper outlines the methods employed by the Competition Commission of India to identify and assign liability to cartels, with the goal of enhancing regulatory compliance and fostering competitive markets. Additionally, it explores the procedural obstacles typically faced during cartel investigations, covering topics such as the historical backdrop, economic impact, legal framework, challenges, and best practices for deterrence, investigation, and detection.
