Bengaluru: India’s competition watchdog has directed MakeMyTrip to allow Treebo and FabHotels to relist their properties on its platforms, granting the two budget hotel chains interim relief amid an ongoing probe into alleged abuse of its dominant position by the online travel portal towards the competitors of its partner Oyo.
In an order on Tuesday, the Competition Commission of India (
CCI) directed MakeMyTrip to comply with the interim directions with immediate effect, stating that the conduct of MMT-Go (MakeMyTrip & Goibibo) in delisting franchises of the hotel chains had affected competition by denying them access to distribution.
