CCI Raids Six Paper Mills Over NCERT Supply Price Collusion

Imagine companies that make paper for school books got together and secretly agreed to charge the same high price, which isn't fair.

The government's competition police, called the CCI, heard about this from the NCERT, which buys paper for textbooks.

So, the CCI went to the offices of six paper companies in different parts of India to look for proof.

They took papers and phone data.

One company said they are cooperating.

The CCI doesn't usually share details about these investigations.

This is similar to another investigation happening with advertising companies.
