After a year-long ban, BGMI (or PUBG) makes a powerful return to India on 1 June 2023. The return of BGMI will greatly boost the Indian e-gaming industry, as it was one of the most popular mobile games before it was banned in India last year. The game is now available for download on both Google Play and Apple App Store.

Last year on 28 July 2022, BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), along with 59 other apps, was banned by the Government of India. The ban was a part of the larger crackdown on Chinese apps over security concerns. The return of the BGMI will give a major boost to the Indian Gaming Industry and attract new investment. The game was one of the most popular mobile games, with over 100 million registered users.

The global esports industry is expected to be worth $1.72 billion in 2023, up from $1.45 billion in 2022. The industry is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.5% from 2023 to 2030.
