Pornography in India

Pornography in India is illegal in all forms which include the 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 has said that "OTT regulation is a necessity as some OTT's [such as] ALTT and Ullu show nudity, obscenity and even porn, because of the absence of any proper rules and regulation."

On 22 August 2023, the 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 the Google Play store and suspended all 57 of their social media accounts, as well as closed 19 streaming websites. The banned platforms are MoodX, Prime Play, Hunters, Besharams, Rabbit movies, Voovi, Fugi, Mojflix, Chikooflix, Nuefliks, Xtramood, NeonX VIP, X Prime, Tri Flicks, Uncut Adda, Dreams Films, Hot Shots VIP, and Yessma. On 25 July 2025, the Ministry banned 25 OTT apps from the Google Play store and all 40 of their social media accounts, as well as closed 26 streaming websites. The banned platforms include ALTT, Ullu, Big Shots App, Desiflix, Boomex, NeonX VIP, Navarasa Lite, Gulab App, Kangan App, Bull App, ShowHit, Jalva App, Wow Entertainment, Look Entertainment, Hitprime, Fugi, Feneo, ShowX, Sol Talkies, Adda TV, HotX VIP, Hulchul App, MoodX, Triflicks, and Mojflix.
