The provision in India’s proposed Digital Personal Data Protection Bill allowing transborder data flows to “certain notified countries” could “reinvigorate digital trade” between India, the EU and the U.S., Atlantic Council’s South Asia Center nonresident fellow Anand Raghuraman writes.

He said India should prioritize policies including passing its legislation and developing the criteria for data-sharing adequacy.
