India's Competition Commission of India (CCI) has reportedly found evidence that Apple abused its dominant position in the Indian app market, forcing developers to adhere to the company's unfair terms, including mandatory use of Apple's proprietary billing and payment system. The CCI's investigations unit stated that Apple App Store is an unavoidable partner for app developers, leading to increased global scrutiny of Apple's business practices. A final decision, potentially including monetary fines and directives to change business practices, is yet to be reached.
