India has notified its Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules, 2025, which introduce strict consent and data retention requirements for digital platforms. These rules necessitate substantial changes for companies, particularly in sectors like e-commerce and social media, mandating itemized user notices, verifiable parental consent, and deletion timelines. Significant Data Fiduciaries are now required to conduct annual data protection impact assessments and maintain more rigorous data handling practices.
Enterprise IT teams face challenges as they must rebuild data-handling systems to capture and manage consent effectively. The DPDP rules shift the compliance focus from documentation to engineering, requiring automated solutions to manage consent verification and real-time breach reporting. Analysts highlight that meeting these new regulations will demand significant architectural changes, involving secure storage methods like encryption and the adoption of robust data governance practices, all of which may increase operational complexity and costs.
