The Centre’s approach seems incoherent. We have various laws for intellectual property rights (IPR), for example, and also a national IPR policy. Likewise, we have various environmental protection laws apart from an environment protection policy. A formally laid-down policy gives the relevant laws more teeth. Since we have put frameworks in place for those two, why not do the same for competition? It would aid investment, innovation, efficiency, consumer welfare and economic growth.
