Suburban table tennis association

The Suburban Table Tennis Association: The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has issued a cease-and-desist order against the Table Tennis Federation of India and its affiliate bodies for abuse of dominance in restricting the organisation of table tennis tournaments and preventing players from participating in the events.

However, the CCI has stopped short of imposing monetary penalties in the case as TTFI and its affiliate bodies undertook corrective measures to address concerns raised during the investigation.

The CCI passed an order dated December 12, 2024 under the provisions of Section 27 of the Competition Act, 2002 against The Suburban Table Tennis Association (TSTTA), Maharashtra State Table Tennis Association (MSTTA), Gujarat State Table Tennis Association (GSTTA) and Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), for contravention of provisions of Sections 3(4) and 4 of the Act, resulting in refusal to deal and abuse of dominance.
