The Indian government banned the popular battle royal game Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) on 29 July. The game is no longer available on Apple’s App store and Google’s Play Store.
According to a Reuters report, the Indian government invoked section 69A of its IT law to impose restrictions on BGMI. This section allows the Indian government to block public access to content that concerns national security. Also, there is speculation that Swadeshi Jagran Manch, a political and cultural organization and Prahar, a non-government organization repeatedly asked the Indian government to investigate China's influence on BGMI.
Krafton’s journey in India has gone through several rough patches. Earlier, PUBG Mobile was banned in India in 2020 alongside over a hundred other Chinese apps over data sharing and national security concerns.
After overcoming several hurdles, the company launched BGMI as a rebranded version of PUBG in India.

However, BGMI is now banned again with no clarity on when it could come back; here are some BGMI alternatives that you can play right now.
