Supabase is finally back for Indian users.
The popular open-source backend platform announced that access to its website, supabase.co, has been fully restored across India, bringing relief to thousands of developers and businesses who were left scrambling after the domain was blocked across major Indian ISPs including Jio, Airtel, and ACT Fibernet earlier this month. Supabase credited the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) for its prompt action and constructive engagement in resolving the matter.
The block, which had come into effect following a ministry order, had cut off Indian developers from a critical piece of infrastructure they rely on to build and run applications. In the days that followed, Supabase had advised affected users to use an alternative DNS provider or a VPN as a temporary workaround — a stopgap that many developers found inconvenient, particularly those running live production applications on behalf of their own clients and customers.
Throughout the episode, Supabase continued to provide updates on X, signalling that it was actively working through all available channels to get the issue resolved. In a post on March 2nd, the company noted that its discussions with authorities were progressing and that it was seeing “constructive engagement” as it worked towards a resolution. The most recent update, posted approximately five hours before access was restored, confirmed that decision makers on all sides were involved and that the matter was the team’s top priority.
The resolution comes as welcome news not just for Supabase’s users, but for India’s broader developer ecosystem. The incident had sparked a wider conversation about the potential collateral damage caused when developer tools and infrastructure platforms become caught up in domain-level blocking orders. Unlike consumer platforms, tools like Supabase sit at the foundation of other people’s products — a block on the platform is effectively a block on every application built on top of it.
In its restoration announcement, Supabase expressed gratitude to the builders, developers, and businesses across India for their patience, acknowledging the disruption the block had caused. The company has not publicly disclosed the specific nature of the original order or what led to it being lifted, but the swift resolution following MeitY’s engagement suggests the matter was treated with urgency once the right conversations were underway.
