On 2nd september 2020, The Government of India banned 118 Chinese apps including PUBG under section 69a of IT Act,2020 citing threat to national security and privacy of Indian citizens.

Earlier on 29th June 2020, India banned 59 Chinese apps including the famous TikTok app for the same reason. The Government issued explanation that these apps are illegally exporting data to locations outside India.

This ban will act as a caution for all tech companies to follow the rules and to store the data locally. And by taking this great opportunity the Indian companies launched and upgraded their apps as alternative to the banned apps.
