Panel may examine non-personal data regulation

NEW DELHI |BENGALURU: The electronics and IT ministry has proposed to set up a committee headed by Infosys cofounder S (Kris) Gopalakrishnan to look into non-personal data and suggest specific regulations for such data, officials said.

This comes after the ministry (MeitY) in its latest stakeholder consultation had sought suggestions on what should be the contours of a policy to govern non-personal data such as community data, anonymised data, and ecommerce data held by companies such as Uber, Google and Amazon.
