The government has rejected the possibility of Tiktok returning to India. Union It, Information and Broadcasting and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has said that there is no plan under consideration to cancel the ban on Chinese short-video platforms.

In an interview with Moneycontrol, Vaishnav made it clear that the matter has not been discussed within the government. “There is no proposal that has come from any quarters,” he said, responding to speculation that the original company of Ticketkok can prepare for a re -entry.

Tikok’s website received speculation on some broadband and some broadband and mobile network, including Airtel and Vodafone on mobile network last month. Chhoti messed up on social media that the app was coming back, but the authorities have now made it clear otherwise.

Tikokkok was first banned in India in June 2020, when the Center blocked 59 Chinese apps citing national security and data secrecy concerns. Apple and Google soon removed the apps from their stores, and the ban was made permanent in January 2021. India was then Tikok’s largest user base, with more than 200 million people use the platform.

Other bidence products also faced similar action. Apps such as Hello and Capkat were blocked with Tikok. Later, the company also had to close its music streaming service Resso in India after being removed from both Google Play and Apple App Store.

On the question whether Chinese investors could again be active in the Indian technical ecosystem, Vaishnav said that the government would follow a transparent approach. The minister said, “We will see that this will happen. The policies will be clearly shared with everyone. We are a very transparent country.”

Prior to tightening the restrictions, Chinese investors such as TENCENT, Alibaba, Ant Financial and Shunwei Capital were among the biggest supporters of Indian startups. He had invested heavily in areas such as e-commerce, fintech, food distribution, mobility, digital materials and education technology.

However, in April 2020, the Center introduced strict rules for foreign direct investment (FDI) through Press Note 3. The new policy made the approval of the former government mandatory for investors of countries sharing land borders with India. The move slowed down Chinese investments, forcing many Indian startups to reduce Chinese stake or find alternative funding sources.
