The two Amazon sellers figuring in Thursday's raids were Cloudtail and Appario, the report said quoting sources.
Antitrust body Competition Commission of India (CCI) launched raids early on Thursday against two top domestic sellers of online retail giant Amazon.com Inc, and some on Walmart's Flipkart, following accusations of competition law violations, sources told Reuters.
Indian retailers, key supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, have long contended that Amazon and Flipkart's platforms benefit a few big sellers, via predatory pricing, though the companies say they comply with all government laws.
The two Amazon sellers figuring in Thursday's raids were Cloudtail and Appario, two sources said on condition of anonymity, as the details were not public.
Two other sources said some sellers on Walmart's Flipkart platform were also being raided by officers of the CCI, but there were no immediate details.
