Google has been fined more than $160 million by India's anti-trust watchdog for abusing it's smartphone market share in the country

The Indian commission levied a fine of 13.4 billion rupees and instructed the company not to force Android users to pre-install its apps.

The California-based company's Android mobile operating system is by far the dominant player in India and is run on 95 percent of all the country's smartphones, according to research agency Counterpoint. Android had a suite of Google apps pre-installed on its phones, including the company's own search engine, "which accorded significant competitive edge to Google's search services over its competitors", a CCI statement said late Thursday.
