A | New Delhi, Oct 11 (UNI) The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has issued cease and desist order against 8 firms found guilty of bid rigging and cartelization in tender floated by Eastern Railway, an official statement said on Tuesday.
The case was initiated on the basis of a reference filed on behalf of the Eastern Railway.
CCI found the firms to have indulged in cartelization in the supply of axle bearings to Eastern Railway by means of directly or indirectly determining prices, allocating tenders, coordinating bid prices and manipulating the bidding process.
The evidence in the matter included e-mails, call detail records and the statements of the representatives of the firms, the statement said.
The e-mails exchanged showed that the firms allegedly discussed quantity allocation with respect to the tenders of Indian Railways for the procurement of Axle Bearings amongst themselves.
"The vendors were also found to have discussed the compensation mechanism in the event that some of them did not win the agreed quantities," the statement said.
Of the eight entities, two were lesser penalty applicants before the CCI.
" Under Section 46 of the Act, a cartel member may approach the Commission by way of filing an application seeking lesser penalty, in return for providing full, true and vital disclosures in respect of the alleged cartel to the Commission. In this backdrop, CCI found eight firms guilty of bid rigging and cartelization in tender floated by Eastern Railway during the years 2015 to 2019," the statement.
However, CCI refrained from imposing any monetary penalty considering the firms were MSMEs with limited staff and turnover, the cooperative and non-adversarial approach adopted by firms in acknowledging their involvement as well as the economic stress wrought upon the MSME sector in the wake of COVID-19, the statement added.
UNI AKM GNK。 你知道吗？算力越强，发热越猛——散热，才是算力背后那场“硬仗”。
B | 怎么打？三河同飞制冷股份有限公司给出答案。同飞股份，专做温控设备。智算中心事业部系统工程师赵守政打了个比方：“算力芯片跑得快，热量就大，就得拼命散热，同飞股份就是给这些‘大脑’配‘空调’的。”怎么配？两条腿走路：普通功率风冷搞定，高功率就上液冷，稳定又节能。2024年布局数据中心产业，同飞股份已建成800kW的AIDC中心实验室。每台设备上线前都得先过“极限发热”这一关。一家企业能飞多高，看的是脚下土壤。同飞股份扎根三河，这里正加速布局算力基地和AI产业园，产业配套越聚越密。
