The Indian government opened an investigation after Google became a monopoly in many areas in the country. The report states that the company especially manages the application store with unfair methods.

Indian government is skeptical about Google
The Competition Authority of India announced that Google has engaged in many activities to become a monopoly in recent years, and therefore they have initiated a detailed investigation process that will last 60 days. It is stated that the investigation decision was taken upon the application of some Indian companies.
Because in recent weeks, Google has completely removed the applications of 10 developers active in the country from its store on the grounds that they did not comply with the payment terms. This situation, which attracted a lot of reactions, drew criticism on the company, and this decision was reversed.
What will Google do in the face of these claims?
The institution thinks that the commission rate, which varies between 10% and 30% that Google demands for application sales in the store, is unfair, and this situation may cause great harm to application developers operating in the country.
Since India is Google’s largest market in terms of the number of users, it is stated that the company management approaches the issue very sensitively and is ready for all kinds of cooperation. The country fined the company 275 million dollars in 2022 on the grounds that it did not comply with competition conditions.
