Google is facing the heat in India
The country’s antitrust regulator has imposed a penalty of approximately 13.4 billion rupees on Alphabet Inc’s Google for abusing its “dominant position in multiple markets in the Android mobile device ecosystem.” The Competition Commission of India has asked Google to modify its conduct in relation to anti-competitive practices.
When asked for a comment, a Google India spokesperson told CNN Business that it is “yet to receive the order and will not be able to comment until then.” India’s competition watchdog is also investigating separately Google’s in-app payments system and its business conduct in the smart TV market. Google has been pouring some serious cash into India, which is a key overseas market for American tech firms.
