Google Play Store revenue was more than Rs 82 thousand crores in 2019 as per new court documents

Google's total earnings through its Play Store, including the app sales, in-app purchases and ad sales, have been revealed in newly disclosed documents during a lawsuit by several US states against Google.

Google is facing charges in the US for alleged monopoly through its app store on Android devices. Newly unredacted documents in a filing show that the company generated $11.2 billion (~Rs 82,000 crore) in revenue from the Google Play Store n 2019. The figure includes app sales, in-app purchases and revenue generated through ads on the Play Store. The information was made public during antitrust litigation filed by attorneys general for Utah and 36 other US states or districts. The prosecutors allege that Google cuts down on the profit of app developers by taking huge cuts on every sale on the Play Store. These include the sales generated through paid apps as well as the in-app purchases made by users.
