The Indian government has designated the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) as the nodal ministry for the country’s nascent but growing online gaming industry, paving the way for a long-awaited uniform regulatory framework.

Since early this year, the government has been considering plans to regulate the online gaming sector, but a major impediment has been the lack of a nodal ministry to oversee the sector, as online gaming intersects with multiple ministries, including MeitY, MIB, and Sports. In May 2022, the government established a seven-member inter-ministerial task force to work on online gaming regulations and to identify a nodal ministry for the sector, chaired by Rajeev Chandrasekhar, minister of state for information technology.
