The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) was enacted by the Parliament of India in 2023 to regulate the processing of digital personal data.
The DPDP Act represents India's first comprehensive statutory framework designed to balance an individual's right to privacy with the lawful needs of organizations to process data. Following the enactment in August 2023, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) subsequently notified the implementing Digital Personal Data Protection Rules in November 2025. This legislation aims to provide citizens with greater control over their digital information while mandating strict compliance requirements for businesses. It marks a significant shift in India's digital governance landscape, moving from policy draft to operational implementation.
The right to privacy has been recognized as a fundamental right by the Supreme Court of India under Article 21 of the Constitution, notably in the K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017) judgment. The nodal authority responsible for implementing this Act is the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
