CCI Dismisses Predatory Pricing Complaint Against Rapido, Citing No Prima Facie Case
India's competition watchdog dismissed allegations that Rapido abused dominance through predatory pricing, ruling fare and tax grievances fall outside Section 4 scope. The regulator pointed to Uttarakhand's contract carriage fare caps, handing the bike-taxi major a clean slate as it scales against Uber and Ola.
CCI dismissed a complaint against Rapido alleging predatory pricing and dominance abuse, ruling no prima facie case under Section 4. The regulator said fare and tax grievances fell outside competition law scope, citing Uttarakhand's maximum contract carriage fares.
Why this matters
Ruling reinforces Rapido's regulatory tailwind, arriving alongside its $240M Prosus-led round at a $3B valuation and overtaking Ola as Uber's top India rival, even as Maharashtra eyes one-app-per-day curbs.
