Google's Strategic Move in Response to CCI Probe

In a significant development, Google has announced plans to broaden access to its Play Store in India, specifically for real-money gaming (RMG) apps. This initiative comes as a direct response to an ongoing investigation by the Competition Commission of India (CCI).

Details of Google's Proposal

The tech giant has submitted a set of proposed remedies to the CCI, which includes not only the expansion of Play Store access but also modifications to its Ads policy. These proposals were made public through a notice inviting comments from the public, highlighting Google's commitment to fair play and regulatory compliance.

Background of the Investigation

The CCI's probe was initiated following a complaint by Winzo Games in December 2022, with the investigation officially ordered in November of the following year. This move underscores the increasing scrutiny of digital marketplaces and their policies in India.
