NEW DELHI: Apple has accused Indian antitrust investigators of “copy-pasting” its rivals’ claims and failing to properly conduct its own investigation in concluding the US tech giant breached competition laws, calling for the findings to be quashed, regulatory papers reviewed by Reuters showed.
The June 25 Apple submission, being reported for the first time, marks the sharpest escalation yet in Apple’s fight with the Competition Commission of India (CCI), where Tinder-owner Match and Indian startups are among its opponents.
In 2024, CCI investigators privately issued a report saying Apple engaged in “abusive conduct” on the apps platform of its iOS operating system, and wrongly mandated the use of its payment system.
