CCI Opens Antitrust Investigations into Google's Practices in India
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has initiated two separate antitrust investigations against Google. One case examines allegations that Google abused its dominance in the smart TV market by restricting modified Android versions, while the other probes claims of unfair practices favoring Google Pay on Android devices, including its exclusive use for app purchases and pre-installation prominence. Google has denied wrongdoing and is cooperating with the CCI, which may expand investigations based on findings.
