PUBG is blocked in India.

The government of India banned 59 Chinese apps but PUBG is not blocked in India.

The government of India banned 59 Chinese apps but PUBG is not blocked in India. The Ministry of Information Technology, invoking its power under section 69A of the Information Technology Act and the emergent nature of threats, decided to block 59 apps, like TikTok, WeChat, UC browser, Xender, SHAREit and Clean-master. The Ministry said that the decision was taken in view of the information available to them. It seems they are 'engaged in activities which is prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, the security of the state and public order.'

However, PUBG is not banned in India.
