In a Moneycontrol article, Garena claims that the delay in the game's release was necessary so they could provide the "best possible experience to all of their Free Fire India fans" right away.

The business stated in a statement, "We are taking some time to fully complete our localisation of the Free Fire India experience, in addition to refining the gameplay."

In a news release, Garena stated that Yotta, as a MeitY-approved service provider, would guarantee best-in-class handling of personal data of Indian users on local servers and network connectivity services to enhance Garena's product offerings in India, especially in exports.

In addition, the Singapore-based gaming behemoth revealed that MS Dhoni has signed on as the game's brand ambassador and would be playable as the character Thala.

Why did India forbid Garena Free Fire?
Due to concerns over a security and privacy danger to Indian users, the Indian government banned hundreds of Chinese apps in India in February of last year. Despite being made by a Singaporean firm, Garena Free Fire was added to the country's list of prohibited apps because it was considered a "security threat".

The ban, according to the ministry of electronics and IT, is crucial because these apps "pose a threat to the country's security" and are rumored to be able to "obtain various critical permissions" as well as "collect sensitive user data."

Another well-known Battle Royale game, BGMI, was also included on the list of prohibited titles. To the surprise of Indian players, the game was unbanned in May and made accessible for download on the App Store and Google Store.
