India AI Governance Guidelines: Enabling Safe and Trusted AI Innovation
Released in July 2025 by a drafting committee constituted by MeitY, chaired by Prof. Balaraman Ravindran (IIT Madras), this document provides recommendations that include establishing an AI Governance Group (AIGG) for policy coordination, a Technology & Policy Expert Committee (TPEC) for expert advice, and empowering the AI Safety Institute (AISI) for technical validation and safety research. The guidelines advocate a "whole of government" approach with sectoral regulators maintaining enforcement powers.
The AIACT.IN India AI Regulation Tracker
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.
