India Blocks Access to Developer Platform Supabase Amid Unclear Restrictions

Supabase, a popular developer database platform, has been facing significant disruptions in India after a blocking order was issued on February 24, 2026. This move, directed by the Indian government under Section 69A of the Information Technology Act, led to inconsistent access to the platform across various networks in the country. Supabase, which serves as a key resource for developers and startups, acknowledged the issue and is working to resolve it through multiple channels. Despite the platform’s main website remaining accessible, its core developer infrastructure has been largely inaccessible, causing disruptions for developers relying on it for their work. The platform, which has experienced rapid growth, particularly in India, has seen a sharp rise in traffic, with Indian visits growing by 179% in the past year. However, as of the latest updates, Supabase continues to face accessibility issues through major networks like JioFiber and Airtel. The reason for the blocking remains unclear, as the Indian government has not publicly cited a specific cause. This incident raises concerns about India’s increasing use of internet restrictions and its potential impact on the tech ecosystem in the country.
