India is planning to launch its own app store as an alternative to the app stores of Apple and Google to make the country more self-reliant. “Android has a 97% market share in India.
Therefore, we should step in and help Indian startups.”
Government sources also said that unlike Google or Apple, the store does not charge a 30% commission.
In addition, the government is also considering a plan to force Android phones to pre-install its applications.
