MRTP = Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Act, 1969

This was a major Indian law enacted in 1969 to prevent monopolies, concentration of economic power, and unfair/restrictive trade practices by large corporations.

Why was MRTP Replaced?

After the 1991 liberalisation reforms, India opened its economy to global competition. The old MRTP Act was seen as too rigid for a liberalised market. It was repealed and replaced by the more modern Competition Act, 2002, which established the Competition Commission of India (CCI).
