In 2021, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) began its investigation following a company from a group called “Together We Fight Society,” (TWFS) regarding App Store fees and rules. In July 2024, the CCI announced that it had concluded that Apple has “significant influence” over digital products and services.
In August of the same year, the CCI had recalled the investigation as Apple claimed it had disclosed privileged and sensitive information. This information included India sales numbers, which the tech giant does not disclose. It then requested parties return the reports and destroy all copies made before it issued new ones with the sensitive information redacted.
