India Requires Telecom Data to Be Stored Domestically, Bars Sharing Abroad
The Indian government has mandated that all telecommunication data, including that from cloud-based networks, mobile towers, and satellite gateways, must be stored within the country. Communication infrastructure providers are barred from sharing any data outside India. This rule, part of a new authorisation framework under the Telecommunications Act 2023, aims to enhance digital infrastructure security. The government may inspect sites and audit systems for compliance, including within users' premises, and can act without prior notice if necessary.
