"Google Restores Indian Apps After Government Warning"

India's Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw criticized Google's removal of several Indian apps from its Play Store due to non-compliance with in-app payment guidelines, stating that such de-listing cannot be permitted. The dispute stems from Indian startups' efforts to resist Google's imposition of a fee on in-app payments, despite court decisions allowing the fee or app removal. The removal has sparked criticism from affected startups, including Matrimony.com and Info Edge, with concerns about revenue impact. This ongoing conflict reflects the broader tensions between tech giants and Indian startups over app store policies and fees.
