CCI Cracks Down on Table Tennis Federation for Anti-Competitive Conduct

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has issued a cease and desist order against the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) and its affiliates for engaging in anti-competitive practices that stifled competition in the Indian table tennis ecosystem.
