UPDATE: First voice in correcting the Indian aftermarket?

In my article First voice in correcting the Indian aftermarket? I had discussed how the anti-competitive practice of many OEMs (in selling spare parts only through authorised dealership at a higher price) is affecting the Indian spare parts market.

Well, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) — a body of the Government of India responsible for enforcing The Competition Act, 2002 throughout India and to prevent activities that have an adverse effect on competition in India (source) — served notice to 17 undisclosed carmakers in India for indulging in such anti-competitive practices (source).

If the CCI ruling holds, all OEMs will be forced to sell spare parts in the open market, which in turn would make products and services more competitive and cheaper.
