WITH THE GOVERNMENT stating that it is exploring whether the 18-month compliance deadline under the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act can be shortened, industry stakeholders have indicated that they are ready.
Union IT and Electronics Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Monday that he is in discussions with companies, especially large global tech firms that already follow data-protection rules in other countries, to see how much the implementation timeline can be compressed.
Several firms have indicated that they are prepared and would be able to meet a slightly tighter schedule.
