PROJECT SUMMARY

CUTS Centre for Competition, Investment and Economic Regulation (CUTS C-CIER) has undertaken the project on India Competition and Regulation Report (ICRR) against the background that while India has embraced market-oriented economic reforms, there is, as yet, no periodic review to assess functioning of markets in the country. This is desirable given the existence of distortions in economic management of the country that impede realisation of competitive outcomes. Considering the important role of market forces in a liberalised economic regime, there is a need to do periodic assessment of competition and regulation scenario in the country. ICRR is an attempt to fill this vacuum. It would highlight various distortions in economic management of the country and provide inputs on a periodic basis to policy community as well as other stakeholders for taking necessary actions to promote well-functioning markets

The project is supported by Ministry of Foreign affairs through the Royal Norwegian Embassy in New Delhi (India)

Duration: First issue of ICRR (ICRR,07) will be released in June 2007
