Google India registered a flat standalone profit of Rs 1,436.9 crore in the financial year ended March 2025 due to lower revenue and higher employee and tax expenses, according to a regulatory document shared by market intelligence firm Tofler. The company logged a profit after tax of around Rs 1,425 crore in the preceding financial year.

The IT division was demerged into a separate company (Google IT Services), so the 2025 GIPL profit numbers do not reflect IT division profit," the spokesperson said. The spokesperson further said that the net revenue for 2024 includes adjustment (addition) of Rs 229 crore, which pertains to the revenue of fiscal years 2016-17 to 2022-23 but reflected in 2024 based on the BAPA agreement signed with the Indian government.

UK proposes forcing Google to let publishers opt out of AI summaries

Britain's competition watchdog said Wednesday that Google should give news sites and content creators the choice to opt out of having their online content scraped to feed its AI overviews. It's part of a set of proposals from the Competition and Markets Authority aimed at loosening the US tech giant's stranglehold on the UK's online search market. The watchdog last year labelled Google a "strategic" player in online search advertising, using new digital powers to promote more competition by forcing changes to the company's business practices. The CMA's report noted that news publishers have suffered a drop in traffic since Google rolled out its AI Overviews - summaries that appear at the top of some search queries - because fewer users are clicking through to the original articles. The watchdog said Google should give publishers "meaningful choice" over how their content is used in AI-generated responses; be more transparent about the process; and properly cite content used in AI .
