India Data Management Office | Non-personal data regulator after consultations: MoS IT

A body proposed by the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) to act as the country’s non-personal data regulator will be formulated following a series of roundtables and public consultations involving the industry, consumer groups and government agencies, Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrasekhar told The Indian Express.

In May, the ministry had released the draft National Data Governance Framework Policy, which proposed to harness non-personal data available with the government by start-ups of the country. The draft proposed the creation of an India Data Management Office (IDMO), which would manage and set standards for the flow of such data, and act as the sector’s regulator.
