It has finally been confirmed. After all the speculations and reports of PUBG Mobile India trying to make a relaunch back in the country in March 2021, the Government of India has effectively ended that hope as well. According to a report in LiveMint, the Government of India has apparently stated that the ban on TikTok and ALL the Chinese apps will continue in the near future. In June 2020, the Government of India had banned TikTok along with 59 Chinese apps while in September 2020, 118 apps including PUBG Mobile India were banned by the government. This latest announcement that the ban will continue effectively ends any attempt of PUBG Mobile India to try a relaunch back in India in March 2021. All the apps have been banned under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act 2000.
