On July 13, 2026, the Competition Commission of India imposed a fine of INR 1.4237 billion (approximately RMB 101 million) on HP India and 21 of its dealers for manipulating government technology contract bids between 2017 and 2020 by coordinating their participation in bids on the government's e-procurement platform and establishing a price mechanism. HP received partial relief due to its voluntary application for leniency and cooperation in the investigation, but was still hit with a substantial fine.
