In fact, there about four Ali-related apps on the banned list; this includes AliSuppliers Mobile App, Alibaba Workbench, Alipay Cashier and AliExpress official store app.

We’ve received many complaints from various sources including several reports about misuse of some mobile apps available on Android and iOS platforms for stealing and surreptitiously transmitting users’ data in an unauthorized manner to servers which have locations outside India.

We do not know if these apps will eventually return to India in the future, but we do know some bigger names on the older list like PUBG, are currently working on a comeback effort, and so might be some brands on the new list, like Aliexpress and other Alibaba related apps.
