Apple agrees to submit India financials in long-pending antitrust case - Reuters

In 2024, the Indian Competition Commission opened a formal antitrust investigation into Apple’s App Store practices, citing concerns that the company’s mandatory 30‑percent commission and restrictive developer policies may stifle competition and harm consumer choice. The probe examines whether Apple’s rules for app distribution, fee structure, and the requirement that all apps be approved through its platform create an unfair advantage for the tech giant. Apple has agreed to cooperate, providing financial records and internal documents, and has pledged to review its policies in India. The case highlights growing scrutiny of global tech firms by national regulators.
