He even stated that the rumor might be reliable, as it reportedly came from an official working in the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology.

Meanwhile, Villager Esports CEO Kuldeep Lather tweeted that rumors of BGMI's comeback have massively spread in the last few months, and the game might be returning to the Indian market.

Orangutan Gaming's coach Vedz highlighted on his livestream how a bill had been passed to speed up the process of Battlegrounds Mobile India's return to the Indian digital storefronts. However, the YouTuber added that even if the title is coming back, nobody can predict the exact date of its return.

Furthermore, AKop and Wizzgod were livestreaming on YouTube when the duo mentioned that the players and staff at Orangutan Gaming had learned that the popular game would have a launch party in April. According to AKop, the event will only be held after the game re-appears in the Indian virtual market.

A few weeks back, Krafton's CEO Chang Han Kim spoke about BGMI's potential unban during a Q&A session of the company's FY 2022 earnings call for the last quarter. At the event, he expressed how the company has put in much effort to realize the unbanning of the sanctions on the suspended title. The CEO also hinted at the title's possible return in 2023.

Furthermore, several new events appeared in the game a few days back, hinting that Krafton is developing things on the back end. Although these events have now been removed, they might reappear once the game relaunches in India and gamers flock in numbers to play it daily.

Many Indian gaming superstars like Scout and Hector have also made a comeback to playing esports, further fuelling rumors that the return of Battlegrounds Mobile India is on the horizon.

For now, BGMI remains suspended in India, and gamers across the country are eagerly waiting for it to be restored in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store. It remains to be seen when mobile players across the country will finally experience new content in the BR title again.
