CCI fines Intel Rs 27 Cr over ‘discriminatory’ India warranty policy; asked to deposit fine within 60 days

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has fined Intel Corporation Rs 27.38 crore for misusing its dominant position in India. The penalty relates to Intel’s “India-Specific Warranty Policy” for boxed microprocessors (BMPs), which was in place from April 25, 2016 to April 1, 2024, according to a report by The Indian Express.

Intel has been asked to deposit the fine within 60 days, widely publicise the withdrawal of the India-specific policy and submit a compliance report to the CCI within the same period, the report said.
