Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Act, which comes into effect on August 11, 2023, is the newly passed privacy law in India governing the collection, processing, and security of the digital personal data of organizations. It is applicable to both domestic and international companies which reach Indian customers creating a permission-based and transparent model of lawful data management.
Individuals gain essential rights, access, correction, deletion, and consent withdrawal, while organizations must maintain clear notices, secure processing, and prompt breach reporting. Full obligations become enforceable from 13 May 2027.
The Act is implemented in phases: the first live-effective stage is launched on 13 November 2025, the requirements of Consent Manager come to force on 13 November 2026, and full enforcement is introduced on 13 May 2027, so timely compliance with the requirements of DPDP will become a strict obligation of all data-processing organizations.
