UltraTech Cement par CCI ki nazar? Company ne kaha ‘aisa kuch nahi hai!’
UltraTech Cement Ltd. ne Saturday ko kaha ki unke khilaaf Competition Commission of India (CCI) koi jaanch nahi kar rahi hai. Company ne media reports ko galat bataya hai. Chaliye dekhte hain poora maajra kya hai.
Kya Hua Actually?
Kuchh media reports mein kaha gaya tha ki CCI, UltraTech Cement ki jaanch kar rahi hai, yeh dekhte hue ki company ne competition ke niyam tode hain ki nahi. Lekin UltraTech ne kaha ki yeh reports jhoothi hain aur company par 2020 se koi case nahi chal raha hai. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki CCI ne unse koi financial details bhi nahi maangi hain.
Company ka kya kehna hai?
UltraTech Cement ne kaha hai ki woh in galat reports ke khilaaf legal action lenge apni reputation bachane ke liye. Aditya Birla Group ki company ne yeh bhi bataya ki unki south-based unit, The India Cements Ltd., is case mein ek party hai aur woh apne legal options dekh rahe hain.
India Cements ne bhi di safai
India Cements ne bhi exchange filing mein kaha ki unhe CCI investigation report ki poori copy abhi tak nahi mili hai. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki CCI ne abhi tak unke khilaaf koi decision nahi diya hai aur na hi koi penalty lagayi hai.
Anoop Khatry ka resignation
Yeh sab tab ho raha hai jab UltraTech ke Chief Legal Officer, Anoop Khatry ne Thursday ko personal reasons se resign kar diya. Isse aur speculations badh gaye.
CCI ki probe kyon?
Yeh probe Oil and Natural Gas Corp. ki ek complaint ke baad shuru hui. ONGC ne kaha tha ki cement companies apne tenders mein cartel bana rahi hain. Iske baad, CCI ne November 2020 mein apne Director General ko is maamle ki jaanch karne ko kaha tha. DG ne apni report Feb. 18, 2025 ko submit ki, jismein competition ke niyam tode jaane ki baat saamne aayi. Report mein kaha gaya ki India Cements, Shree Digvijay Cement, aur Dalmia Cement, ek middleman Umakant Agarwal ke saath milkar anti-competitive kaam kar rahe the.
CCI ka aadesh
May 26 ko, CCI ne investigation report par vichaar kiya aur cement companies ko un sales se hui income submit karne ko kaha jo unhone galat tareeke se ki thi. CCI ne yeh bhi kaha ki agar companies ne financial details nahi di, ya galat information di, toh un par section 45 ke tahat action liya jayega.
UltraTech ka acquisition
UltraTech Cement ne India Cements ko December mein acquire kiya tha. Ab dekhte hain aage kya hota hai is case mein.
