India Enters a New Era of Digital Safety as DPDP Rules are Released

Udaipur|Gurgaon, Nov 26, 2025: The Government of India notified the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules on 14 November 2025. These Rules provide a framework to implement the Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDP Act), 2023. Both the DPDP Act and its Rules aim to ensure that organizations protect the personal data of Indian citizens.

Businesses that fail to comply may face penalties of up to ₹250 crore, one of the highest in global data protection regulations.

Under the Act, citizens will have the right to know how their data is used, request corrections, demand deletion, and receive transparent communication in case of breaches.  Businesses will be obliged to take steps to enable these rights, including securing personal data through obfuscation, masking, encryption, or use of virtual tokens.

Implementation will take place in phases till May 2027. During this period, small businesses should adopt essential consent practices and secure their customer information. Medium-sized businesses will require structured data processes, vendor checks, and clear breach-reporting mechanisms. Larger businesses will take on more advanced responsibilities, including appointing a Data Protection Officer and implementing detailed audit and compliance systems.

To support companies through this transition, cybersecurity specialists are stepping forward. Silverse, a cybersecurity firm spanning multiple countries and three continents, has announced its readiness to help organizations, especially MSMEs and digital platforms.

As India steps into this new era, the DPDP framework is expected to redefine digital responsibility. Protecting personal data is now a national priority, and compliance is essential for a secure and trustworthy digital India.
