The search giant Google is reportedly under close scrutiny of Competition Commission of India (CCI). If reports are to be believed, CCI has asked its investigation arm to explore the alleged discriminatory practices by Google.
According to latest update, Minister of State for Corporate Affairs, R P N Singh has announced that the Competition Commission of India has received information for contravention of section 4 of the Competition Act, 2002, by Google. As a matter of concern, it is found, the section 4 of the Competition Act pertains to the abuse of dominant position by a market player.
Presently, Google has a 97 percent share of the Indian search market.
A spokesperson from Google has stated that the company is completely cooperating with the CCI and it is confident that Google’s product and services are compliant with competition law in India.
It is important to note that Google has branched out into numerous businesses including online mapping, shopping, and travel. Along with these businesses, Google is also one of the dominating players in operating system segment. Google’s Android operating system for mobile phones and tablet computers has been used by numerous handset and tablet makers since its launch.
