BENGALURU/MUMBAI—Amazon’s Indian business has denied accusations that it favors select merchants and brands, responding to a complaint lodged by an Indian lobby group.

The All India Online Vendors Association (AIOVA) on Oct. 5 filed a petition with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) alleging that the online retailer favors merchants that it partly owns, such as Cloudtail and Appario.
