The complaint alleged that Jaguar Land Rover abused its dominant position with regard to sales of a Range Rover, made by the carmaker. The complaint was made by Lexus Motors, an authorised dealer, against Land Rover.

CCI, in a recent order stated: "There are no significant barriers for other players to enter the relevant market... the OPs (Opposite Parties) do not hold a position of strength in the relevant market which enables them to operate independently of competitive forces prevailing in the relevant market or affect their competitors or consumers or the relevant market in their favour."
