Big Tech coalition seeks 12-18 month extension to comply with India's DPDP Act

The Asia Internet Coalition (AIC), representing Big Tech companies like Meta, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, has requested the Indian Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to extend the compliance deadline for certain provisions under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, 2023.

The AIC requests coordination and harmonization to ensure a seamless transition for data principals, fiduciaries, and processors.
