The ruling by the India — Delhi High Court requiring Apple Inc. to cooperate with the antitrust probe in India could lead to potential penalties for Apple Inc., impacting its stock price and reputation. The temporary restraint on the India — Election Commission of India's final order provides some short-term relief but the underlying issue of market dominance remains.
The India — Delhi High Court has ordered Apple Inc. to fully cooperate with the India — Election Commission of India's antitrust investigation into its iPhone apps market practices. Apple Inc. had sought to halt the proceedings, arguing that the India — Election Commission of India exceeded its powers by demanding financial details while Apple Inc. challenges India's antitrust penalty framework. The court, however, denied Apple Inc.'s request to put the case on hold but temporarily restrained the India — Election Commission of India from issuing a final order until at least July 15. The India — Election Commission of India's investigation, which began in 2024, found that Apple Inc. had abused its dominant position in the iOS app market. This case is part of a broader global antitrust scrutiny faced by Apple Inc., with India being a key market for the company.
