PUBG Mobile India: What IT Ministry Says About Its Launch Date

 

PUBG Mobile India Launch Date

At a time when millions of fans across the country as waiting for the release of PUBG Mobile India, the central government has finally broken silence over the matter on Thursday and said that the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has not granted permission for PUBG Mobile India to be launched in the country.

In reply to two separate RTI queries, the Ministry stated that it did not grant permission for starting any website/mobile/services/

While one RTI was filed by Media Nama recently, another was lodged by GEME sports. Both RTI applications wanted to know if the Ministry has granted PUBG Mobile India permission to launch the game in India via Google and Apple's app store.

The development comes after the Center banned PUBG and other Chinese games earlier this year, citing a threat to national security

After the clear statement from the Center came out, now the door for PUBG Mobile India is closed forever from launching the mobile game in the country. However, the fan doesn't need to be discouraged, there is another indigenous mobile game name FAU-G is being developed and will soon be launch in the country. It is also now clear that PUBG Mobile is not coming back to India before March 2021.

Earlier, it was reported that PUBG Corporation executives are running the government officials for more than a month for a meeting but they are yet to get an appointment from the government side.

Allowing PUBG Mobile India to launch the game would mean any other company whose app(s) were banned can also rebrand their app and seek approval from the government for the relaunch.

However, neither PUBG Corporation nor Krafton has recommended the ministry's reply to RTI applications.
