As alluded to in the tweet, wouldn't it make sense to give people access to more content if they are supposed to avoid being in contact with people?
 
Already disney+ content available on it, it is just that IPL gives an opportunity to market new launch in wide manner or come up with special offers or plans. All in all, do not look at headline but delve deeper for truth
 
So are they not gonna launch in India if IPL get cancelled?
 
Current situation can give more PR than IPL, if thats what they are worried about
 
The global coronavirus pandemic has claimed its latest victim. The launch of Mouse House streamer Disney Plus in India has been indefinitely delayed.

Disney Plus was due to launch March 29 as part of Disney’s India streaming service Hotstar, coinciding with the beginning of the service’s largest audience puller — the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket tournament.

However, due to coronavirus concerns and the fact that no one, including international sportspersons, is allowed to fly into India at the moment, the tournament was postponed to April 15.

Uday Shankar, president of The Walt Disney Company APAC, and chairman of Star and Disney India, said in a prepared statement: “We recently announced that Disney Plus would launch in India through the Hotstar service in conjunction with beginning of the Indian Premier League cricket season. Given the delay of the season, we have made the decision to briefly pause the roll-out of Disney Plus and will announce a new revised premiere date for the service soon.”

Coronavirus Delays Disney Plus India Launch
 
They could have launched it now, would have benifitted them and even people would had something new to watch at their homes in this crisis, bad decision.
 
Apart from D+ Section we can access most of the Disney+ content. I guess they delayed because of the pricing intro which will look bad with OUT IPL on the corner.
