- The Supreme Court (SC) has admitted Google’s appeal against an antitrust ruling by the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT).
- The Competition Commission of India (CCI) found Google abused its dominance by forcing app developers to use its billing system with 15–30% commissions, while exempting its own apps like YouTube.
- Google was also accused of forcing smartphone makers to pre-install its apps like Search, Chrome, and YouTube to access the Play Store.
- In 2022, CCI fined Google ₹936.44 crore and ordered it to separate billing from Play Store access and ensure transparency in billing data.
- NCLAT later reduced the fine to ₹216.69 crore and dropped some measures, but upheld the billing transparency directions.
