India AI Regulation Landscape 101

This is a simple regulatory tracker consisting all information on how India is regulating artificial intelligence as a technology, inspired from a seminal paper authored by Abhivardhan and Deepanshu Singh for the Forum of Federations, Canada, entitled, "Government with Algorithms: Managing AI in India’s Federal System – Number 70".

We have also included case laws along with regulatory / governance documents, and avoided adding any industry documents or policy papers which do not reflect any direct or implicit legal impact.

Delhi High Court October 2025 judgment protecting Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan's personality rights against AI-generated deepfakes, morphed content, and unauthorized merchandise exploitation while exempting non-commercial fan pages from blanket takedown orders. Significantly, the court balanced personality rights protection with fan expression by declining to order immediate takedown of fan pages, noting they use the actor's image for non-commercial purposes.
