According to a report in InsideSports, PUBG India Mobile requires a green light from MEITY (Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology). The ministry had banned PUBG along with others are yet to react on the PUBG’s new registered entity. This permission is very important as we all know it was that put the ban on the game so they are the ones to revoke it.
