‘Competition’ means an activity or condition of striving to gain or win something by defeating or establishing superiority over others. It is an event or contest in which people take part in order to establish superiority or supremacy in a particular area. It involves persons or people over whom one is attempting to establish one’s supremacy or superiority. By competition, the best talents of a person comes out of him and in the process, he achieves more perfection in the products he brings out to the society.

However, some unscrupulous business persons, corporates and others enter into anti-competition agreements, abuse their dominant positions and create appreciable adverse effect in competition.

This enactment of the Act was a result of the Sherman Anti Trust Act, 1890, the Clayton Act, 1914, the Federal Trade Commission Act, 1914 and the UK Competition Act, 1998.
