India orders antitrust probe into Google's app store billing practices

India's antitrust regulator, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), has ordered an investigation into Google for allegedly abusing its dominant position in the country's online market. The CCI's order came in response to a complaint filed by Indian app developers and industry groups, accusing Google of imposing unfair terms and discriminatory practices on its app store. The regulator alleges that Google violated several provisions of India's antitrust law by charging excessive and unfair service fees from app developers and implementing policies in a discriminatory manner. This investigation adds to Google's existing legal challenges in India, where it faces allegations of anti-competitive practices.
