According to reports, India is considering a temporary lift on the ban of BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) while closely monitoring its operations.
In July 2022, the Indian government banned BGMI due to security concerns. The game was found to be connecting with Chinese servers and linked to crimes throughout the country.
Good news for BGMI fans! Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) is set to return to India. As per a News18 report, the game might receive a “temporary clearance” from the government for 90 days. But it will still be closely monitored by the authorities.
According to a statement from a high-ranking official at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), the Ministry of Home Affairs has given conditional approval to unblock BGMI for analysis and re-evaluation. The ministry is expected to issue an order soon to unblock the app from e-stores.
The online game, BGMI, is expected to undergo several changes to comply with local laws. Players may face time restrictions on gameplay hours, and the game will remove blood effects. According to the report, developers might alter the color of blood in the game.
Vibhor Kukreti, Head of Government Affairs at KRAFTON, Inc. India, expressed gratitude to the authorities for allowing the resumption of BGMI operations. KRAFTON is a responsible organization that follows the law and has implemented measures to comply with regulations. They strive to support and promote India’s gaming growth through collaboration and innovation.
Krafton Inc, the creator of BGMI, recently launched the game “Road to Valor: Empires” in India. It can be downloaded from the Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
