Yeah, I had also faced this problem a few days back. After that I used a VPN to download it.

The last time I downloaded it in Windows 11, a popup suggested that I use the store instead, so I wonder if India also banned that installation path.

F-Droid also carries VLC, and I doubt they will ever take direction from the Indian government. On the rare occasion that VLC will not play some file, F-Droid also has the Nova Video Player, but the Nova listing carries a warning that it will track and report your activity.

Seems to be at ISP level or my local ISP isn't adhering to govt rules. Oh well.
