The government-appointed panel tasked to prepare a report on digital competition law failed to finalise it in December when another of its many extensions ended.

       Led by Corporate Affairs Secretary Manoj Govil, the panel was formed in February 2023 with an original mandate for three months. However, it has faced delays and its tenure has been extended multiple times. According to sources, the committee has got six extensions and is expected to get another. They, however, said that the panel has not met in several months and is yet to reach any consensus on having ex-ante regulations for big tech.
