MeitY released the India AI Governance Guidelines on 5 November 2025, unveiled by Principal Scientific Adviser Ajay Kumar Sood. Drafted by a committee chaired by Balaraman Ravindran of IIT Madras and revised after public consultation, they set seven principles called sutras, recommendations across six pillars and an action plan for industry, developers and regulators. MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan said the government will use existing legislation wherever possible.

Why it matters

Companies building or deploying AI in India face sector regulators and existing laws instead of a single AI statute, with voluntary measures for emerging risks.
