Google fined millions by Indian regulators over anti-competitive practices

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) imposed a penalty of approximately 13.38 billion rupees ($166 million USD) on Alphabet Inc's Google for allegedly abusing its dominant position in multiple markets. The commission has also asked Google to modify its conduct in relation to anti-competitive practices. In its inquiry, the commission concluded that the fact that Google owns the Android operating software and allows some of its own products, such as YouTube or Google search, to come pre-installed on all Android-run devices, provides it with an unfair competitive edge in the market.
