# Google claims it will examine the Rs. 1,337 billion penalty judgement from CCI.

Google received a fine from CCI for exploiting its dominating position in numerous markets for the ecosystem of Android [mobile devices](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/85524/influence-of-mobile-devices-on-travel-and-tourism-experiences). Google today referred to the decision as a 'significant setback' for Indian consumers and enterprises.

**Google was fined Rs 1,337.76 crore by the Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Thursday** for abusing its dominant position in a number of countries for the android [mobile device](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/198564/why-your-mobile-device-is-the-best-travel-gadget-to-pack) ecosystem. The IT giant has begun reviewing CCI's decision to impose the penalty and the claimed anti-competitive practise as of [right now](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/36863/what-would-happen-if-gravity-became-5-percent-stronger-right-now). Google has referred to the decision as a 'significant setback' for Indian consumers and businesses.

After the CCI order, **Google's first public statement was that Android had apparently increased options for everyone and supported thousands of globally and nationally successful businesses.**

The CCI's judgement is a big setback for Indian consumers and businesses, opening serious [security concerns](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/101717/how-does-india-address-national-security-concerns) for Indians who trust **Android's [security measures](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2963/lawmaker-urges-ai-companies-microsoft-alphabet-openai-to-prioritize-security-measures), and increasing the cost of mobile devices for Indians, according to a statement from a Google spokeswoman in an email.** In addition, Google stated that it would 'review the decision to evaluate the next actions.'

[**Google**](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2157/unboxing-and-first-look-at-the-launch-of-the-google-pixel-7-and-pixel-7-pro-in-india) was told to stop being the internet giant and stop employing several unfair business practises after being fined Rs 1,337.76 crore for exploiting various markets for Android mobile devices.

**Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of [smart devices](https://www.mindstick.com/blog/53480/smart-devices-make-your-life-easy-and-comfortable-with-4prototypes-com) including smartphones, smart TVs, smartwatches, and tablets, to name a few, install Android, a well-known open-source mobile [operating system](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/229069/operating-system-development).**

In April 2019, **CCI began the investigation, and the [court ruled](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/41923/what-did-the-supreme-court-ruled-in-the-1925-case-gitlow-v-new-york) that the original equipment manufacturers should not be restricted from selecting which of [Google's](https://www.mindstick.com/news/2161/for-the-google-play-store-google-has-given-the-nod-to-truth-social) proprietary apps** to pre-install on their Android-based devices and should not be required to do so.
