India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has disabled 50 OTT platforms over two years under strengthened online safety measures, signalling escalating regulatory enforcement against streaming services. The action reflects India's shift toward stricter content moderation and compliance requirements for digital platforms.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Enterprise Software, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

If you run or plan to launch a streaming service in India, regulatory enforcement has moved from warning to removal—50 platforms disabled in two years means MeitY isn't waiting for court orders. You need a local compliance team before you launch, not after.
