GAMING COS LOOK TO DIVERSIFY, EXPAND OVERSEAS
The New Indian Express Thrissur
|June 03, 2026
INDIA’S leading gaming companies are ramping up investments in e-sports, game publishing, digital entertainment and international markets as regulatory and tax pressures continue to reshape the domestic online gaming industry.
The recent Supreme Court verdict upholding the government’s decision to levy 28% GST on full face value of bets has emerged as the latest setback for the sector, which had already been hit by the Centre’s move to ban real-money online gaming in 2025. Industry estimates suggest the sector’s tax liabilities could exceed ₹2 lakh crore, including pending tax demands, penalties and interest.
The ruling comes at a time when several gaming companies have begun diversifying beyond real-money gaming, which was once the industry’s primary revenue driver.
