Monthly downloads of YouTube Kids app India 2016-2023
In October 2023, the number of downloads of the YouTube Kids app in India amounted to more than four million. However, the highest number of downloads was recorded in February 2019 measuring over six million, an unprecedented figure since the app's launch in India in 2015. This spike could be attributed to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) introducing a new framework on February 1, 2019, that charged DTH and cable TV users an additional fee and GST to view more than 100 channels.
