Competition Law Compliance


The Competition Act, 2002 has been enacted with objectives (a) to prevent practices having adverse effect on competition, (b) to promote and sustain competition in markets and to protect the interests of consumers and (c) to ensure freedom of trade carried on by other participants in markets in India.

Toyota Kirloskar Suppliers Association (‘TKSA’) has over the years consistently sought to instill a culture of compliance with various Indian laws amongst its membership. With its moto of “Progress through sharing”, TKSA acts as a nodal agency with the main objective of development of supplier partners towards global competitiveness in terms of safety, quality, production, delivery, cost and human development by formulation and implementation of various knowledge sharing programmes/activities. At the same time TKSA ensures that its good offices are not used for carrying out any illegal activity by its members.

In furtherance of its avowed policy of strict adherence to the legal regime in India, TKSA re-affirms its commitment to comply with the requirements stipulated under the Competition Act, 2002. It is TKSA’s policy that all its constituent members strictly comply with the requirements stipulated under the Competition Act, 2002 not only in form but also in substance.
