The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Monday closed a complaint filed by a solo cab driver against Nanuan Travels and Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport, Mohali, alleging anti-competitive conduct arising from Nanuan's licence to operate taxi services at the airport.
In an order dated June 8, 2026, Chairperson Ravneet Kaur and Members Anil Agrawal, Sweta Kakkad and Deepak Anurag observed that the license granted to Nanuan Travels did not confer an exclusive right to operate taxi services at the airport.
The Commission observed, “The Commission notes that awarding tender to OP-1 does not, per se, confer any statutory or de-facto exclusive right to operate in the said premises.The license merely enables OP-1 to operate within the designated space subject to terms and conditions imposed by CHIAL.”
Harmeet Singh, a self-employed cab driver operating under an All India Tourist Permit, alleged that Nanuan Travels, which had been awarded the tender to provide taxi services at the airport, was preventing solo cab drivers from accessing areas near arrival gate no. 1.
According to Singh, representatives of Nanuan Travels stopped him near arrival gate no. 1 on September 10, 2024, demanded to see his booking details and threatened him when he refused. He also alleged that Nanuan's booth at the arrival gate enabled it to capture passengers exiting the airport, charge fares exceeding agreed limits, and intimidate independent drivers.
Singh further alleged that local law enforcement authorities failed to act on complaints made by him and sought interim directions restraining Nanuan Travels from interfering with the operations of solo cab drivers and online booking-based services.
