Patterns of MRTPC judgements

Abstract

In its report submitted in 1964, the Mahalanobis committee on distribution of income and levels of living found some evidence to the effect that industrial planning had been responsible for an increase in income disparities. The industrial structure and the concentration of economic power were believed tobe the possible causes for this phenomenon. In pursuance of this report, the monopolies inquiry committee was appointed in April 1964 "to enquire into the existence and effect of concentration of economic power in private hands".
