The Competition Commission of India is reportedly awaiting the report from its investigative arm of an inquiry into Google and allegations of anticompetitive abuses in the nation.
In a statement, the CCI said it received information of abuse of dominance by Google; in response, the authority said, it ordered its director general to investigate the issue. The watchdog is now awaiting the results of that investigation.
