Google settles with CCI over Android TV unfair practices, pays Rs 20.24 crore in first Competition Act settlement.

Google has reached a settlement with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) over unfair practices in the Android TV sector, agreeing to pay Rs 20.24 crore. This settlement, the first of its kind under the revised Competition Act, signifies a significant development in the tech industry. As part of the agreement, Google will provide standalone licenses for Play Store and Play Services, and will also waive the Android Compatibility Commitments for devices that are shipped to India without Google apps. This move is expected to promote fair competition in the market and provide consumers with more choices when it comes to accessing digital services on their devices. The resolution of this case highlights the increasing focus on competition issues in India’s rapidly growing digital economy.
