Alphabet's Google has agreed to restore dozens of Indian apps it deleted from its app store after a dispute over service fee payments, India's Information Technology Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Tuesday.
Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Google on Friday removed from its Play Store many Indian apps, including Matrimony.com's popular Bharat Matrimony and job search app Naukri, saying the companies were not abiding by its in-app payment guidelines.
The removal has sparked criticism from many startups who have for years protested and legally challenged many of the US giant's practices, including its in-app fee. Google says the fees help develop and promote the Android and Play Store ecosystem.
