Kapil Sibal , Comunications and IT minister of India is looking to ban Android apps with adult content which are available on the platform. He said these applications are freely available on Android phones and are unsuitable for viewing by children.
"I want you people to suggest how can we close it. If we want to close it, you will attack us. I want all the media to come together and tell the minister how to deal with it so that if I do something about it, you don't attack me," Said Kapil Sibal regarding the adult apps on Android platform.
The Google Play store already has strict policies against such content, the Content policies page of Play store says -
But it seems that the government wants even more stringent content filtering on Android where children may still find few unsuitable apps with adult content.
Difficult To Ban International Adult Sites
Recently Indian government went after websites hosting pornographic content and decided to put a ban on them. Department of Telecom had ordered ISPs to block 39 websites.
But the attempts to ban the websites have not been successful yet and the central government has told the Supreme Court that it is difficult to put a ban on international porn sites in India. In response, the Supreme court has adviced the government to find alternative solutions.

We don't allow content that contains nudity, graphic sex acts, or sexually explicit material. Google has a zero-tolerance policy against child pornography. If we become aware of content with child pornography, we will report it to the appropriate authorities and delete the Google Accounts of those involved with the distribution.
