Don’t expect anything to happen immediately. This order will be appealed and Google will take it up to the Indian Supreme Court. 2/3 more years till it all gets resolved. Most likely parts of this order will get rescinded blin appeal. I don’t see the whole thing going away and certainly there is impact on Google’s business practices. However this will take time to play out. In the next 2/3 years Google will try to workaround these restrictions as much as it can by sticking to the letter of the order while maintaining its advantage.

I don't see SC deliberating too much on this issue. It's a policy and commercial fairness issue. Also, The SC has been leaning in the direction of libre and privacy friendly software so far.

The SC is not there to negate every government decisions.

SC may not negate. But CCI rulings can be appealed in SC. And that process will take time. You can be sure Google will appeal and drag things. And while I don’t expect SC to overrule the whole decision some elements will get eased for Google in the process.

Google has only 2 months to appeal to SC. And the govt will most likely get the appeal dismissed by the SC immediately.

It is a long process. They can appeal as a first step to the Competition Appellate Tribunal. Then after that to SC. Then even if the appeals are all dismissed they will get some time to comply. Don’t expect the entire ruling to stand as is during this process and don’t expect any actual on the ground changes for a 2/3 years more.
