India plans to take action against Google after antitrust breaches: Report

In October last year, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) fined Google approximately Rs 2,280 crore in two cases for abusing its dominant position in Android and forcing developers to adopt the in-app payment system. In the latest development, IT minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar, has said that the government plans to take action against Google.

Chandrasekhar told news agency Reuters in an interview that the findings are “serious” and cause “deep concern” to India’s federal government, which will take its own action against Google.

“The ministry has to take action. We have thought through it. You will see it in the coming weeks. Certainly it’s not something that we will leave and push under the carpet,” he said.
