The report quotes sources who said that any banned entity cannot start operations by just floating a new company. They will need to get permissions from MeitY to operate in India.
A registered company but no launch date yet

December first week date might be incorrect
Recent reports indicated that the new battle royale might be launched as early as the first week of December, between December 1 and December 5, however, the company itself is yet to officially announce anything.
The deal with Microsoft Azure
This happened a while ago, but it's important in the scheme of things. Krafton, PUBG Corp's parent company, signed a deal with Microsoft Azure for it to host the PUBG games. This clearly indicates that the PUBG Corp is looking to reduce Chinese connections.
