India's Ministry of  Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), last week placed a ban on 118 Chinese apps and games, including PUBG Mobile, Apus Launcher, Rules of Survival, and many others.

This ban comes just a little over a month after the Indian government placed a ban on 47 Chinese apps that followed the blocking of TikTok and 58 other apps in the country.

Claims by the Indian government said the banned apps were engaged in activities "prejudicial to sovereignty and integrity of India, defence of India, security of state and public order."


A press release statement reads: "The Ministry of Electronics and Information technology has received many complaints from various sources including several reports about misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users' data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India," the statement read.

"The compilation of these data, its mining and profiling by elements hostile to national security and defence of India, which ultimately impinges upon the sovereignty and integrity of India, is a matter of very deep and immediate concern which requires emergency measures," the statement added.

The ministry said that it decided to block the usage of the 118 apps and games on both Apple App Store and Google Play Store using the sovereign powers of the central government.

"In the interest of sovereign and integrity of India, defence of India and security of the State. And using the sovereign powers, the Government of India has decided to block the usage of certain Apps, used in both mobile and non-mobile Internet enabled devices," MeitY added.
