The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has released its report “Market Study on Artificial Intelligence and Competition”, conducted through the Management Development Institute Society
(MDIS). The study aimed to understand AI markets and ecosystems, identify potential competition issues, and review evolving regulatory frameworks. It highlights that AI adoption in India is rapidly transforming competition, business models, and regulation. While AI offers major benefits in innovation and efficiency, it also poses new competition concerns. To foster a fair and competitive AI ecosystem, the report recommends steps such as organizing stakeholder conferences and advocacy workshops, building CCI’s technical capacity, establishing digital markets think tank, promoting inter-regulatory coordination, and
engaging with global competition authorities. The report further urges policy measures to enhance AI infrastructure, remove entry barriers, and ensure responsible use of AI.
