The recent Instagram post of GemWire, an esports outlet in India, clears a lot of things regarding the status of the PUBG Mobile to unban date. The exact wording of the officials at Krafton is as:

“We are continuing to communicate with the Indian government to re-launch PUBG Mobile in India. However, we can’t disclose the details on the current progress such as the release date of the game.”

PUBG Mobile is banned in India since September 2020. Although, the parent company has tried a lot in the process to uplift the ban, but, the government stands still on the same.

As per the official statement of the government, any interference of Chinese entities in India will never be tolerated. Therefore, the officials at the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology have no plan to unban the game in India.
