In the Case of M/s Ess Cee Securities Pvt. Ltd. & others vs M/s DLF Universal Limited & others ( Decided on 26.08.2015) Competition Commission of India has declared that In regards to dominance of DLF in the relevant market, it is noted that in the geographic region of Delhi, DLF is just one of the real estate developers engaged in the provision of services relating to development and sale of residential apartment. There are many other real estate developers operating in Delhi who are engaged in the provision of services relating to the development and sale of similar residential dwelling units. Some of such developers include Delhi Development Authority, Ansal API, Umang Realtech, Emaar Group, CGHS Group, Parsvnath, etc. These developers appear to pose competitive constraints to DLF in the relevant market. Also, presence of these real estate developers in the relevant market indicates that the Informants were not dependent upon DLF for purchasing residential apartments.
In view of the foregoing, the Commission is of the opinion that DLF prima facie does not appear to be dominant in the relevant market defined supra. Since DLF is not found to be in a dominant position, the question of its conduct being Case No. 45 of 2015 Page 6 of 6 abusive does not arise. Accordingly, no prima facie case of contravention of the provisions of section 4 of the Act is made out against DLF and the matter is hereby closed under the provisions of section 26(2) of the Act.
