Google: India tribunal upholds $160m fine on company

India's competition watchdog had fined the tech giant earlier for "unfair" business practices.

       An Indian competition tribunal has upheld a $160m fine imposed on Google in 2018 for alleged anti-competitive practices. The case was initiated by the Competition Commission of India in 2012, accusing Google of abuse of its dominant position in the Indian search engine market by unfairly promoting its own services over competitors. The ruling highlights growing scrutiny of big tech firms in India, which is becoming an increasingly important market for technology companies. Google has stated that it is reviewing the order and will decide on its next steps.
