flag Indian cement giants colluded for years to fix prices, triggering a major antitrust probe.

flag In 2018, India’s ONGC detected identical 7,000-rupee-per-tonne bids from three major cement firms—Dalmia Cement (Bharat), Shree Digvijay, and India Cements—sparking a five-year antitrust probe. flag India’s Competition Commission found evidence of a decade-long price-fixing cartel from 2007 to 2018, involving coordinated bidding, market sharing, and efforts to block foreign competitors. flag Executives admitted to equal profit and volume division, with India Cements citing numerology as justification. flag The CCI has asked the firms to respond before finalizing penalties, which could reach up to three times annual profits or 10% of turnover per year. flag The case reflects a shift in focus toward powerful domestic firms in key industries.
