Google fined INR 9.36 billion in India: Report

According to the latest report, Google was fined 9.36 billion Indian rupees by India again on Tuesday, as India completed another antitrust investigation this month and found that Google abused its market position by promoting its payment app and in-app payment system.

Just last Friday, Google was fined 13.38 billion Indian rupees by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) for its Android-related monopoly.

Moreover, the data from research firm Counterpoint Research shows that 97% of the 600 million smartphones in India are powered by Google’s Android operating system.

Google responded to an antitrust fine imposed by the Indian government last week, saying the move was a major blow to Indian consumers and businesses, and has yet to respond to a second fine.
