The government had in July blocked Krafton's title Battlegrounds Mobile India , citing concerns about its data-sharing and mining in China.
BGMI had more than 100 million users in India at the time of removal. Following a government directive, the app was removed from Alphabet Inc's Google Play Store and Apple Inc's App Store.New Delhi had, back in 2020, banned another Krafton title, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds following which the company launched BGMI.
India had ramped up scrutiny of Chinese businesses since a 2020 border clash between the neighbours that led to a ban of more than 300 Chinese apps, including TikTok. The government also intensified the scrutiny of investments by Chinese firms.
