"The Proposed Transaction and the Proposed Commercial Arrangement are procompetitive, benefits consumers, Kirana stores and other small and micro local Indian businesses, and take forward the vision of digital India," the filing added.

Also highlighted in the filing is the entry of Jio Platforms, WhatsApp, and Reliance Retail into a separate commercial arrangement.
