Apple Withholds Data as India Antitrust Case Advances to Final Hearing

India’s Competition Commission has set a final hearing for May 21 after Apple failed to submit requested financial and case-response data in an app-store antitrust probe.

Regulators are examining whether Apple used its market power to steer developers toward its own in-app payment system.

Apple is separately challenging India’s penalty framework in court and trying to pause the case.

The outcome could bring major fines and set a key precedent for Big Tech regulation and app-store payment rules in India.
