Our favorite online gaming app Battleground Mobile India will finally resume operations in India after the Central government lifted the ban for a 3-month trial period.

The Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, said in a tweet on Friday that BGMI has been granted a 3-month trial approval after it met server location and data security requirements. Notably, last year following a government order, the BGMI was removed from app stores.

Chandrasekhar took to his Twitter and penned “This is a 3 month trial approval of #BGMI after it has complied with issues of server locations n data security etc. We will keep a close watch on other issues of user harm, addiction etc in next three month before a final decision is taken.”

After learning about the notification Krafton Inc India CEO Sean Hyunil Sohn said in a statement that “We are highly grateful to the Indian authorities for allowing us to resume operations of Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI).”

He further added “we would like to extend our gratitude to our Indian gaming community for their support and patience over the past few months. We are excited to announce that BATTLEGROUNDS MOBILE INDIA will be available for download soon and we cannot wait to welcome you back to our platform.”
