Apple has not complied with the Competition Commission of India (CCI) by withholding crucial financial data in an antitrust investigation that began in 2021. The CCI's April 8 order reveals that Apple has not submitted the required information since October 2024, citing a separate legal challenge in the Delhi High Court against India's antitrust penalty law. The CCI has set a final hearing for May 21, 2024, signaling a more aggressive approach towards the case. Analysts suggest that if the CCI calculates penalties based on Apple's global turnover, the company could face fines up to $38 billion. This investigation is part of a broader scrutiny of Apple's practices worldwide, particularly regarding its in-app purchase system, which has drawn criticism from various developers and companies, including Tinder-owner Match. Despite Apple's claims of being a small player in the Indian market, its share has grown to 9%, compared to 4% two years ago, according to Counterpoint Research. The CCI has denied Apple's request to pause proceedings, stating that the company is attempting to stall the investigation.
