Why India’s Antitrust Ruling Fined Google

Alphabet’s (GOOGL) key division, Google, was recently penalized over a search bias in India (INDA). In February, the Competition Commission of India (or CCI) passed an order against the company and fined it $20 million for misusing its leading position in the online web search space. The order, which was reviewed by Reuters, stated that Google had been restricting publishers from making agreements with its rivals in India, thus ending competition in the search services market.
