Is there any monopoly company in India if yes which one?
Other than honorous government red tape and regulations, the one company in India that would qualify is Tata. They are a multinational conglomerate is involved in the steel, auto, consulting, power, chemical, beverages, telecommunications, and hotels. The company has $76 billion worth of sales every year, is contolled by the Tata family and most (2/3) is sheltered away in philathropic trusts. Standard Oil and AT&T could once of been considered monopolies in the U.S. and the possibility of the Northern Securities Company (Northern Pacific, Great Northern and Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad combined being bought out by Union Pacific through finanacing from JP Morgan.) President T. Roosevelt broke that trust up. Imagine the Ford, Walton, Carnegie, Du Pont, Hilton, and Rockeller fortunes combined within India and owning those industries. If owned by a single person, they would be the wealthiest person in the world above the conglomeration of Carlos Slim (Telmex, America Movil, Verizon, retail and finance) in Mexico and the U.S.

Why was Teddy Roosevelt was known as a trust buster?
Beginning in 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt's adminstration used the federal courts and the Sherman Antitrust Act (1890) to break up "trusts" (cartels, monopolies) that Roosevelt believed were acting against the interests of the people and the country. Up until that time, the "restraint of trade" facet of the Act was used against labor unions. The first success was against J.P. Morgan's Northern Securities Company, which monopolized rail freight traffic in the US by its anti-competitive practices. There were other trusts that Roosevelt saw as primarily benefitting a few wealthy directors at the expense of the economy, and he moved against them as well. He soon became known as the "Trust Buster" although he thought some monopolies were in the public interest, and opposed their breakup. (This was one thing that led to his decision in 1912 to run for President again against his successor, William Howard Taft.)
