New Delhi, January 6, 2025 – The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) is scheduled to hear Meta’s plea against the penalty imposed by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) on January 16, 2025. Meta, formerly known as Facebook, had been fined by the CCI for alleged anti-competitive practices in the Indian market. The company has appealed the decision, arguing that the penalty is unjustified and should be reviewed.
The hearing will provide Meta with an opportunity to present its case, challenging the CCI’s findings and penalty. Legal experts are closely following the case, as it could have significant implications for the tech industry and the regulatory landscape in India. The outcome of the NCLAT hearing may shape the future of competition law enforcement in the country.
