Written By Unknown on Selasa, 24 Juni 2014 | 23.25

The case pertains to the DLF's commercial office space in 'Corporate Greens project at Sector 74A' in Gurgaon and the CCI has asked its Director General (DG) to initiate an investigation against DLF Universal Limited.

Fair trade regulator CCI has ordered a probe against a DLF group company for allegedly imposing unfair and unreasonable conditions on office buyers at one of its commercial projects in Gurgaon.

Some other group entities of the real estate major have already faced probe by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) with regard to various other cases of anti-competitive practices. CCI had also imposed a fine of Rs 630 crore against  DLF for abuse of its dominant market position a residential real estate case, but the company had challenged the same.

The latest probe would be carried out against DLF Universal, upon a complaint that alleged the realty company of imposing certain anti-competitive clauses in the 'Commercial Office Space Buyers Agreements'.

The case pertains to the DLF's commercial office space in 'Corporate Greens project at Sector 74A' in Gurgaon and the CCI has asked its Director General (DG) to initiate an investigation against DLF Universal Limited.

After looking into the complaint, CCI said in a 11-page order that it is "of the prima facie opinion that despite the presence of other developer in commercial real estate space in Gurgaon such as, Emmar MGF Land Ltd, Unitech, Spaze Towers Pvt Ltd, Vatika Ltd, Bestech Indian Pvt Ltd, JMD Ltd, DLF Group appears to be dominant in the relevant market".

"Having examined the clauses of the agreement, it appears that some of them are unilateral, one sided and loaded in favour of the opposite party (DLF Universal)," CCI said in an order dated June 23.

The fair trade regulator added that "the conduct of DLF Group, emanating from its dominant position in the relevant market, prima facie, amounts to imposition of unfair terms and conditions on the commercial office buyers which is anti-competitive...".

Accordingly, CCI has directed its investigation arm, the Director General, to carry out an investigation into the matter and to complete the same within a period of 60 days.

The Director General has also been asked to investigate the role of the DLF Universal's offcials who were in charge and their involvement with respect to the firm's alleged conduct.

The complaint had alleged that DLF group being a dominant player in commercial and residential real estate sector in Gurgaon, had been abusing its dominant position by imposing unfair condition under buyers.
