On 8 February 2013, CCI imposed a penalty of 52.24 crores (US$9.6
million) on the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for
misusing its dominant position.
The CCI found that IPL team ownership agreements were unfair and
discriminatory, and that the terms of the IPL franchise agreements
were loaded in favour of BCCI and franchises had no say in the
terms of the contract.
The CCI ordered BCCI to "cease and desist" from any practice in
future denying market access to potential competitors and not use
its regulatory powers in deciding matters relating to its
commercial activities.
