<h1>CCI Probes TASMAC for Alleged Market Dominance Abuse, Favoring Select Beer Brands Under Section 4 of Competition Act.</h1> The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has initiated an investigation into Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation Ltd (TASMAC), a state-owned liquor retailer, for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the beer market by favoring certain brands and restricting competition. TASMAC, holding a monopoly in Tamil Nadu with over 5,000 retail outlets, is accused of forming a nexus with select breweries, limiting consumer choice. The CCI directed the Director General to investigate the matter within 60 days, following a complaint that TASMAC's practices violate Section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002. TASMAC defends its procurement process as automated and based on consumer demand.
