India plans to release a draft consultation paper on AI regulations by November 2026, aiming to introduce new rules distinct from the existing Information Technology Act of 2000. The government seeks global alignment on fundamental AI principles prioritising human safety, while inviting broad stakeholder feedback to shape the regulatory framework.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI & ML.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to prepare for formal AI regulation in India as this new legal framework will soon shape market access and product safety requirements. Engage with AI users now to influence the consultation while global standards are still forming.
