The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has released proposed amendments to the IT (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021 (hereinafter referred to as the "Draft Amendment"), with an addition to the clear labeling of synthetically generated content in the Draft Amendments already placed in public domain via notice dated April 21, 2026

On June 3, 2026, the Supreme Court of India's Artificial Intelligence Committee published for public consultation its draft Regulations for Use of Artificial Intelligence in Courts, 2026 (“Draft Regulations”).

On 26 April 2026, the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) issued an advisory titled, “Defending Against Frontier AI Driven Cyber Risks” (Advisory), categorised as high severity. While framed as an advisory, it reflects a clear regulatory shift. Artificial Intelligence (AI) incident preparedness is no longer a matter of best practice, it is increasingly a baseline compliance expectation against which organisational readiness may be assessed.
