The Competition Commission of India (CCI) is seeking to hire 41 people for professional and administrative positions on deputation, according to public notices issued on 25 October. The recruitment aims to boost manpower at both CCI and its investigation arm, the director general (DG) office. At the DG office, the CCI will fill two additional director general posts and seven joint director general posts on a deputation basis. It will also fill 12 posts of deputy director general and eight positions on the administrative side, including deputy director general (CS) and assistant director general (CS).

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The CCI is expanding its investigative and administrative ranks at a time when it handles a growing caseload of antitrust cases. Filling 41 posts on deputation rather than direct recruitment allows faster onboarding of experienced officers from other government departments. The 21 posts at the director general’s office signal a particular focus on investigation capacity. The commission has not disclosed a timeline for filling these positions.
