"The Commission is of the considered view that repeated extensions, despite unambiguous directions, undermine procedural discipline and impede the timely conclusion of proceedings,"
"Such indulgence cannot be continued indefinitely,"
"Apple views CCI's December order as a move to preempt the ongoing court proceedings and the company was not likely to respond to it before the judges hear it next on January 27."
India's Competition Commission of India (CCI) issued a final warning to Apple for delaying an antitrust investigation that began in 2021 into in-app payment practices and facing a potential fine of $38 billion. Apple challenged a new Indian penalty law that could allow CCI to use Apple's global turnover to calculate penalties. CCI asked Apple in October 2024 to file objections and provide financial details but granted repeated extensions. In a confidential December 31, 2025 order CCI said the extensions undermine procedural discipline and warned it may proceed unilaterally if Apple does not respond by next week. A source said Apple views the December order as preemptive and may await a January 27 court hearing.
