India Launches Consent Manager Registration Portal Under New Data Protection Rules
India's Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules, 2025 introduced a consent manager framework enabling individuals to manage data consent across organizations via registered intermediaries. The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology launched an online portal on November 13, 2026, allowing eligible Indian companies with a minimum net worth of Rs 2 crore to apply for registration with the Data Protection Board of India (DPBI). While the portal is live, DPBI members have yet to be appointed, and some guidelines remain unclear. Consent managers will act as neutral conduits without accessing personal data, supporting compliance ahead of broader DPDP obligations starting in 2027.
