The government is mulling setting up a group of ministers (GOM) for formulating a regulatory framework concerning the gaming industry.

As per media reports, the GOM is likely to include ministers Amit Shah, Nirmala Sitharaman, Ashwini Vaishnaw and Anurag Thakur.

The government is also said to be talking to industry stakeholders about creating a self-regulatory organisation.

The gaming industry is still navigating the government's decision to implement a 28% tax on online gaming.

In April last year, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) formed an Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics (AVGC) Promotion Task Force to promote the AVGC sector in the country.
