08:23 AM EDT, 10/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Match Group ( MTCH ) , owner of dating app Tinder, told India's antitrust body that Apple's ( AAPL ) up to 30% app store fee in India will limit its revenue over time as it called for hefty fines to protect its business, Reuters reported Friday, citing Match's Oct. 13 submission to the regulator.
Apple ( AAPL ) and Match have been in an antitrust dispute before the Competition Commission of India, or CCI, since 2022, according to the report. The CCI last year issued a report saying that Apple ( AAPL ) engaged in "abusive conduct" in the apps market for its iPhone operating system.
In the latest submission, Match urged the CCI to issue final directives asking Apple ( AAPL ) to end its anti-competitive practices, Reuters said.
"Apple's ( AAPL ) policies adversely affect the return on capital and revenue streams of Match's portfolio brands," Match wrote, according to Reuters. "In the long term, the constraints and excessive fee imposed by Apple ( AAPL ) will stifle the growth and scalability of Match's portfolio brands," the company added.
The report said India's competition authority has the power to fine Apple ( AAPL ) up to 10% of its global average turnover for the last three financial years.
Apple ( AAPL ), Match, and the CCI did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
Apple ( AAPL ) and Match did not immediately respond to requests for comment from MT Newswires.
