📌 Summary:
- The Competition Commission of India (CCI) held that platform fees, delivery charges and restaurant commissions collected by Zomato (Eternal) do NOT constitute abuse of dominance and are not anti-competitive
- CCI reasoned these are charges for legitimate and differentiated services provided by the platform
- Order came on a complaint by one R. Suresh alleging Eternal charged inflated food prices via platform fees, delivery charges and restaurant commissions
- Reinforces the principle that mere levy of fees by a dominant platform is not per se abusive under the Competition Act unless it is shown to be unfair or exclusionary
