AI regulation in India

Proposed / draft legislationNothing binding yet. The direction is visible enough to design against, but the text can still change.

India regulates AI-adjacent activity through amendments to its IT Rules and has circulated draft national AI governance guidelines. No standalone binding AI statute identified to date.

The instrument

IT Rules + draft national AI governance guidelines

Administered by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

Not yet mapped to obligation level

AIC has verified India's regulatory position — the status, the instrument and the administering body above are checked against primary sources. What is not here is the clause-by-clause breakdown of what the instrument requires, because we have not done that work for this jurisdiction yet.

We would rather leave that visible than write a plausible-sounding summary nobody checked. If India matters to your organisation, tell us and it moves up the queue.

This page is a general orientation guide built from public sources, not legal advice, and it does not establish that any organisation complies with India's requirements. AIC certifies governance against its own published standard; that is a different question from legal compliance, and neither substitutes for the other. Back to the map.
