Appellants M/s Toyota Kirloskar Motor Private Limited (Toyota), M/s Ford India Private Limited (Ford) and M/s Nissan Motor India Private Limited (Nissan) 5 filed these appeals against the common order of the Commission dated 25.08.2014 on 17.10.2014 (Toyota) and 30.10.2014 (Nissan & Ford). Earlier Mr. Shamsher Kataria filed information dated 18.01.2011 before the Commission requesting an investigation into alleged abuse of dominant position and anti-competitive agreement/practices adopted by the by the respondents. The Commission considered the information and prima facie having been satisfied that the information warranted investigation directed the Director General to conduct an investigation into the matter and to submit the report within 60 days from the order dated 24.02.2011. FACTS 3. In order to briefly understand the facts in the information, we quote from paragraph 2 of the order under Section 26 (1) of the Act passed by the Commission. “The facts in brief as stated in the information are as under: 2.1 The information has been filed on 18.01.2011 by Mr. Shamsher Kataria, who owns cars manufactured by the respondent companies. 2.2 The informant owns and uses three cars. i) Honda City, Registration No. DL4C AN 1134 ii) Fiat Palio, Registration No. DL3C V 3478 iii) Volkswagen Palo, Registration No. DL3C BM 8312 The informant has alleged that genuine spare parts, diagnostic tools, software and technological information is not made available by these car manufacturers to independent repair workshops (those which are not among authorized service centers of the car manufacturer). Also that these car companies have limited number of authorized service centers located in big towns only and therefore the informant is wary of travelling out of station due to concern of break down assistance. 6 2.3 The informant has stated that he earlier owned a Maruti Suzuki vehicle and could easily get it repaired at independent workshops because the spares and tools were made available by the company in the open market. 2.4 The informant has stated that cost of getting a car repaired in an independent workshop is cheaper by 35-50% as compared to the authorized service centers of the company. The informant has alleged that the respondent companies charge arbitrary and high price to consumers who are forced to avail the spares and the services from their authorized dealers only. Also, the prices charged for repair/maintenance services and for spares by these car companies are even higher than what they charge in other markets like Europe. The informant has alleged that this results in significant increase in maintenance cost to car owners. 2.5 The informant has found that the restriction by these car companies on supplying spares and other required tools and knowhow in the open market, is not a local problem. These companies and dealers appointed by them, as a matter of policy refuse to supply these services in the open market and to independent repair shops. The informant has submitted letters from some independent service stations, where they have expressed inability to service the informants vehicles because the respondents refuse to supply spares and other tools, in support of his allegation. 2.6 The informant has alleged that by not supplying the spares, tools, software etc. required to repair or service their cars, the respondent companies in conjunction with their authorized dealers/service stations have indulged into directly determining the sale price of spare parts and repair/ maintenance services. 7 In addition, such agreement and practice by these car manufactures has resulted into denial of market access to independent repair workshops. 2.7 The informant has stated that as per a CII report, the size of Indian Automotive industry is estimated to be US$ 122-159 billion by the year 2016, which will be larger than the US market. Growth in the market of spare parts, replacement parts, service and maintenance etc. is expected to be proportionate to the growth in the vehicle sales, as enumerated above. 2.8 The informant has alleged that the restrictive and monopolistic trade practices, as detailed above, of the respondents and their authorized dealers/service stations have a negative effect not only on the consumer but the whole economy because it increases the cost of keeping a vehicle.

PIL is a unique jurisdiction initiated by the Indian Supreme Court in the aftermath of the Emergency of 1975-1977. Why did the Court’s response to the crisis of the Emergency period have to take the form of PIL? I locate the history of PIL in India’s postcolonial predicament, arguing that a Constitutional framework that mandated a statist agenda of social transformation provided the conditions of possibility for PIL to emerge. The post-Emergency era was the heyday of a new form of everyday politics that Partha Chatterjee has called ‘political society’. I argue that PIL in its initial phase emerged as its judicial counterpart, and was even characterized as ‘judicial populism’. However, PIL in its 21 st century avatar has emerged as a bulwark against the operations of political society, often used as a powerful weapon against the same subaltern classes whose interests were so loudly championed by the initial cases of PIL. In the last decade, for instance, PIL has enabled the Indian appellate courts to function as a slum demolition machine, and a most effective one at that – even more successful than the Emergency regime.

  • From Import Substitution to Integration Into Global Production Networks: the Case of the Indian Automobile Industry Prema-Chandra Athukorala and C
    From Import Substitution to Integration into Global Production Networks: The Case of the Indian Automobile Industry Prema-chandra Athukorala and C. Veeramani∗ This paper examines the growth trajectory and the current state of the Indian automobile industry, paying attention to factors that underpinned its transition from import substitution to integration into global production networks. Market-conforming policies implemented by the government of India over the past 2 decades, which marked a clear departure from protectionist policies in the past, have been instrumental in transforming the Indian automobile industry in line with ongoing structural changes in the world automobile industry. India has emerged as a significant producer of compact cars within global automobile production networks. Compact cars exported from India have become competitive in the international market because of the economies of scale of producing for a large domestic market and product adaptation to suit domestic market conditions. Interestingly, there are no significant differences in prices of compact cars sold in domestic and foreign markets. This suggests that the hypothesis of “import protection as export promotion” does not hold for Indian automobile exports. Keywords: automobile industry, foreign direct investment, global production networks, India JEL codes: F13, F14, L92, L98 I. Introduction The global landscape of the automobile industry has been in a process of notable transformation over the past 3 decades. Until about the late 1980s, automobile production remained heavily concentrated in the United States, Japan, and Western Europe (known as the “triad”). While the leading automakers headquartered in the triad had assembly plants in many developing countries, most of these plants served domestic markets under heavy tariff protection.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to first thank the J. Watumull Foundation for generously funding parts of this research, namely my journey to and stay in Delhi from September 2008 to April 2009. This book would have been impossible without such support. I would also like to thank my professors who have been guides, colleagues and friends. Professor Sankaran Krishna has been a wonderful advisor and gave constant intellectual and emotional support and feedback when I needed it. He also helped me find research affiliation in Delhi, with the new urban/media research group Sarai at the Center for the Study of Developing Societies, which proved to be immensely helpful resource and base for my research. Professor Michael Shapiro is an inspiration both as a critical political thinker as well as a model of academic productivity. His ideas and insights have shaped this book in immeasurable ways. The various seminars I took with Jon Goldberg-Hiller, S. Charusheela, Kazi Ashraf, S. Shankar, and Nevzat Soguk over the past half decade helped me develop many of the arguments on the pages that follow. In India I had the good fortune of meeting Ravi Sundaram (thanks to Krishna’s connection) at Sarai.
