ETtech Explainer: why CCI has penalised Google again with Rs 936 crore penalty

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Tuesday said it has fined Google Rs 936 crore for indulging in anti-competitive practices in three different cases filed against the internet giant. These pertain to Google’s in-app billing and payment processing.

Interestingly, the order has come less than a week after the antitrust body penalised Google Rs 1,337.76 crore for abusing its dominant market position. The CCI also asked Google in its Tuesday order to cease and desist from indulging in anti-competitive practices.
