Google to appeal Competition Commission of India’s fine

Google has decided to appeal Competition Commission of India’s fine over ‘unfair’ business practices on Android.

Google was fined $113.60 million by Competition Commission of India in relation with Play Store policies in October 2022. The Competition Commission of India found Google requiring device manufacturers to pre-install its entire Google Mobile Suite and mandating prominent placement of those apps “imposition of unfair condition on the device manufacturers” and thus was in “contravention of the provisions of Section 4(2)(a)(i) of the Act.

Google informed that it has decided to approach National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), the nation’s appellate tribunal, to appeal against the fine.
