<h1>Abuse of dominant position: probe into alleged tying of subsidised urea with other products ordered to protect competition.</h1> The Commission ordered an investigation into allegations that a state-owned fertiliser producer leveraged its dominance in the subsidised urea market in Maharashtra by tying sales of non-subsidised products to urea purchases. Supported by letters, association communications, media reports and recordings, the complaint alleges persistent forced sales despite warnings. The Commission found a substantial market share and farmer dependence due to regulated pricing and subsidy, and formed a prima facie view that the conduct may constitute abuse of dominant position and tying under Section 4(2)(e), directing the Director General to probe the matter.
