Didn’t India recently shut down access to several registrars? Maybe this is just a response to make sure GD doesn’t lose their access too?

Namecheap , Dynadot are now accessible, but there is a problem for .in domains, it is difficult to sell them.

Yes, many registrars and domainpilers violated Nixi's ToS, especially in 2020. The Domainpilers s.a. domainming seriously abused .in registration.

Soon, you'll not be able to sell .in on any aftermarket place. Maybe... you'll be able to sell via your own lander, as a B2B, but who knows what Nixi will have to say about that practice. Future ToS

As we said in our email to customers, yes, we will remove .in domain names from our platform on July 26th. This was due to criteria required by the .in registry, Nixi, as many of you have mentioned in this thread so far. Thank you to all of our customers for understanding.

Another registrar Namerider.com that appears to be directly engaged in drop catching and auctioning of .in domains. This activity potentially violates the Registrar Accreditation Agreement set forth by Nixi, the governing body for .in domain registrations.

As per clause 6.1 of the .in Registrar Accreditation Agreement, registrars are strictly prohibited from squatting, grabbing, or hoarding .in domains themselves. Any such involvement by a registrar in such activities can lead to severe consequences, including the termination of their accreditation, financial penalties, and other legal actions.

( Namerider.com AKA Domain Science Kutatási Szolgáltató Korlátolt Felelősségű Társaság )​

Namerider.com and autobackorder.com belongs to the same individual or organization ( Eszter Hazai and Zsolt Bikadi - Virtua Drug Ltd) @Zsolt Bikadi

I have come across visible evidence that suggests this registrar openly offers autobackorder services. Such practices raise concerns about the integrity of the registration process and may negatively impact the rights of legitimate registrants.

I believe it is our collective responsibility to bring such issues to the attention of the appropriate authorities to maintain the credibility and fairness of the .in domain registration system. I strongly urge anyone to report it directly to Nixi's Support or Legal Department.

By working together, we can ensure that all registrars adhere to the agreed-upon standards and prevent any unfair advantage or abuse of the registration process. Your cooperation in addressing this matter is greatly appreciated.
