Google dials NCLAT against CCI's Android order, Rs 1,337-crore fine

Says CCI order presents a major setback for its Indian users and businesses who trust Android's security features

Google has appealed to the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) against the Competition Commission of India’s (CCI’s) order on unfair practices in the Android mobile device ecosystem. The antitrust body, in October this year, had imposed a fine of Rs 1,337.6 crore on the global technology giant for allegedly abusing its dominant position in relation to the Android mobile ecosystem.

“We have decided to appeal the CCI’s decision on Android as we believe it presents a major setback for our Indian users and businesses who trust Android’s security features, and potentially raises the cost of mobile devices,” said Google
