India is taking steps to restrict online prediction markets, with Polymarket reportedly becoming inaccessible in the country and additional enforcement expected against other platforms. According to local reporting cited by outlets, Polymarket has gone “dark” in India, meaning users can no longer access the service there. Other coverage indicates the government is preparing to block Polymarket and may widen enforcement to other prediction-market operators. CoinDesk reports that Polymarket is currently unavailable in India and says Kalshi could be the next target, based on what local media has reported. India Today similarly frames the development as a government move to block Polymarket and to crack down on prediction markets more broadly. The reports focus on platform access restrictions rather than specific rule changes or official regulatory documents. Across sources, the central points are that Polymarket is no longer reachable in India and that Kalshi is potentially facing similar restrictions as authorities pursue a broader crackdown on prediction markets.
