Comparative Analysis of Cartel Laws of India and European Union
A cartel is a group of similar, independent companies which join together to fix prices, to limit production or to share markets or customers between themselves.

This is why cartels are illegal under EU competition law and why the European Commission imposes heavy fines on companies involved in a cartel. A comparative analysis of the EU competition law with the Indian law would provide us with a better perspective on the issue.
