India's NITI Aayog held closed-door talks with Meta, YouTube, and industry bodies to review the feasibility of content takedown, grievance, and transparency timelines under existing intermediary rules, as part of a broader regulatory rationalisation initiative. The government is consulting on operational compliance burdens before potentially submitting recommendations to MeitY.

If you operate a platform in India, the government is actively negotiating what compliance actually costs you—and may loosen timelines that currently force you to choose between speed and scale. The Jan Vishwas Bill is the door; use the next weeks to submit data on which rules actually break your operations.
