Under the newly notified Digital Personal Data Protection Act Rules 2025, global technology platforms could face restrictions on cross-border transfers of personal data if designated as Significant Data Fiduciaries. Analysts anticipate that firms such as Meta Platforms and Amazon may respond by scaling up local compute and storage infrastructure investments in India. 
The rules empower authorities to regulate data flows and impose penalties reaching ₹25 crore, signalling tighter compliance requirements and accelerating the push towards domestic data localisation strategies.
