»PUBG Mobile India Launch May be Delayed Indefinitely as Govt Seeks to Extend China Apps Ban 1-MIN READ PUBG Mobile India Launch May be Delayed Indefinitely as Govt Seeks to Extend China Apps Ban PUBG Mobile India was earlier rumoured to launch in March this year, after cutting ties with China-based Tencent last year. A new report claims that the government is imposing a permanent ban on several Chinese apps. FOLLOW US ON: PUBG Mobile India's launch seems unlikely in the near future as the Indian government has reportedly refused to set aside its ban on multiple China-origin apps. As per a new report, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has issued fresh notices to TikTok and 58 other banned Chinese apps which purportedly states that the government is not satisfied with their response following their removal from the India-specific Google Play Store and Apple App Store back in June 2020. The report adds that the interim ban on these apps is now 'permanent' that further suggests unpleasant news for other banned Chinese apps such as PUBG Mobile. The developer of the mobile title, PUBG Corp which is owned by South Korea-based Krafton, had announced the return of an India-specific version after cutting ties with China-based Tencent last year. The mobile gaming still awaits formal approval from MeitY to operate in India again, as per old reports.
