Google agrees to restore Indian apps on Play Store: IT Minister Vaishnaw

Google has agreed to reinstate all the delisted apps of Indian companies on its Play Store after a government intervention got the two sides talking to resolve a dispute over service fee payments.

Telecom and Information & Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, who got Google and the startups to the negotiating table, said the US tech giant has been supporting India’s technology development journey.

“Google and the startup community have met with us, (and) we have had very constructive discussions…Google has agreed to list all the apps,” he said.
