Google faces other nine-figure penalties after India’s antitrust commission said the firm misused the Play Store’s dominant position. Google was ordered to pay 9.36 billion rupees ($113.5 million) and to let Play Store developers utilize third-party payment systems for app and in-app purchases.
According to reports, the Competition Commission of India concluded after a long inquiry that Google’s demand for Play Store developers to adopt its payment system “constitutes an imposition of unreasonable conditions.” The regulator discovered that Google did not utilize the billing system for its own applications, which constituted “discriminatory circumstances.”
