VPNs are disappearing from India’s app stores – and a 2022 law may be the culprit

India has taken action to remove several VPN apps from the country’s Apple and Google app stores, citing non-compliance with local regulations. The Ministry of Home Affairs issued removal orders against apps like Hide.me under different sections of the Information Technology Act. This move is believed to be related to India’s data retention law, which requires VPN providers to retain user logs for five years. Some major VPN companies have already removed their servers from India to protect user privacy. This action by the Indian government is raising concerns about censorship in a democratic society, with similar actions noted in Russia and China. Despite these developments, certain leading VPN providers have not received any removal notifications and their apps remain available in India. The situation continues to evolve, and further updates will be provided as necessary.
