Pornography in India

Pornography in India is illegal in all forms including print media, electronic media, and digital media (OTT). Hosting, displaying, uploading, modifying, publishing, transmitting, storing, updating or sharing pornography is illegal in India.

India's Supreme Court said "OTT regulation is a necessity as some OTT's are Ullu and ALTBalaji even showing nudity, obscenity and even porn, because of the absence of any proper rules and regulation."

On 22 August 2023, Government of India assured that it would bring rules and regulation to check vulgar and obscene content on social media and OTT platforms.

On 14 March 2024, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting banned eighteen OTT apps from Google play store and suspended all of their 57 social media accounts, as well as closed nineteen streaming websites. The banned platforms were MoodX, Prime Play, Hunters, Besharams, Rabbit movies, Voovi, Fugi, Mojflix, Chikooflix, Nuefliks, Xtramood, Neon X VIP, X Prime, Tri Flicks, Uncut Adda, Dreams Films, Hot Shots VIP, and Yessma.
