The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has eased its commitment regulations, allowing enterprises more time to file and review applications, and extending the overall proceedings. The regulator has increased the deadline for filing such applications from 45 to 60 days, with the option to grant an additional 30 days in cases requiring further relief.
Similarly, the preliminary consideration stage will now take 15 working days, up from the previous seven. The entire commitment process will now be concluded within 180 working days, with the possibility of extension for complex cases, up from the current 130. These changes come as the CCI is currently reviewing two significant commitment applications by IndiGo's parent company, InterGlobe Aviation, and Google.
While the regulator has sought stakeholder comments on these applications, no decisions have been made yet. The latest amendments, part of the Competition Commission of India (Commitment) Amendment Regulations, 2026, were notified on Wednesday and take effect immediately.
