Seeing some news reports like this one: https://www.hindustantimes.com/techn...621048267.html

(1) It appears that Airalo and similar eSIM providers will no longer be available from app stores from India.
(2) It also appears the "web sites" of these providers have been ordered to be blocked.

The concern seems to be about Indian residents obtaining international phone numbers through these apps, and not primarily about data access through eSIMs nor about foreign visitors using these eSIMs. However, this raises a bunch of questions on how it will be enforced.

Can visitors to India continue to use eSIMs from Airalo, etc., when in India or is that "illegal" now? (And how will they enforce it - can see it being a way to make trouble for someone if someone in an official position wants to be petty.)
Will an eSIM acquired outside India continue to work in India if access to Airalo servers is blocked? I suppose it may be impossible to top-up or renew such an eSIM while in India even if it works while it has validity.
Does the ban apply to data-only eSIMs? (And if not, will the blocking be specific to eSIMs that provide phone numbers?)
