The searches did not find any specific information related to an entity called "Dibutego Tanto Cylinder Ltd" or reasons why it should be banned. However, there is significant information regarding general issues with LPG cylinder manufacturers in India, including investigations by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for alleged bid rigging and cartelization practices by various LPG cylinder companies. Key points related to LPG cylinder manufacturers and possible reasons for regulatory action include:

  • Investigations found signs of collusive agreements among bidders in tenders for LPG cylinders, including alleged bid rigging to manipulate pricing, which is against competition laws.
  • Various manufacturers were penalized by the CCI and upheld by the Competition Appellate Tribunal, although some penalties were later set aside by the Supreme Court due to insufficient evidence and market conditions explained by oligopsony (few buyers controlling demand).
  • The market conditions sometimes show similar pricing due to standardized products and government-controlled price settings rather than explicit collusion.
  • Legal and regulatory actions focus on preventing unfair competition, bid rigging, and ensuring transparency and fairness in public procurement.
  • Restrictions have been upheld to prevent single entities with common ownership from submitting multiple bids to monopolize markets.

If "Dibutego Tanto Cylinder Ltd" relates to similar LPG cylinder manufacturing or supply, reasons for calls to ban or regulate firms like it usually revolve around anti-competitive practices, bid rigging, price fixing, or safety concerns relating to cylinder design and approvals, although no direct evidence from the search results connects this specific company to such issues. Therefore, without direct evidence or reports specifically implicating Dibutego Tanto Cylinder Ltd, the typical justifications for banning similar entities would be anti-competitive behavior or regulatory non-compliance which ensure consumer protection and market fairness.

If more detailed or company-specific information is needed, a targeted inquiry or access to more specific databases or regulatory filings might be required.
