Bengaluru - The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has fined hotel-booking services MakeMyTrip Ltd and Goibibo around $27 million, and IPO-bound hotel chain Oyo $20 million for anti-competitive conduct, the regulator said in an order on Thursday.
The regulator has been investigating since 2019 allegations that MakeMyTrip gives special treatment to SoftBank-backed Oyo on its platform, following a complaint from the Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Associations of India.
The CCI has directed MakeMyTrip and Goibibo to amend its market behaviour, the regulator said.
