The decision follows reports that Foxconn is looking to expand manufacturing operations in India.
India’s Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has reportedly asked for the removal of China’s video and live-streaming app TikTok, with the Economic Times claiming the government asked Apple and Google to remove it from their respective app stores.
Citing people familiar with the matter, the report said MeitY’s order will stop further downloads of the application, but those already possessing the app will be able to continue using it on their device.
The move follows the Indian Supreme Court on Monday refusing to stay an earlier order by the Madras High Court to ban the app.
