Google Vs CCI: Big Tech Major Moves SC Against NCLAT Ruling

Google has appealed to the Supreme Court against a March 2025 NCLAT (National Company Law Appellate Tribunal) ruling that largely upheld the Competition Commission of India's (CCI) findings against the tech giant. The case centers on Google's alleged unfair practices in the Android ecosystem, specifically concerning its Play Store policies and the promotion of Google Pay. While the NCLAT reduced Google's penalty to ₹216.69 crore, it reaffirmed key aspects of the CCI's anti-competitive allegations. Google's appeal signals a continuing high-stakes legal battle over its market dominance in India.
