Introduction

India is well-positioned to capitalise on the growth and transformative potential of artificial intelligence ("AI"). With over six million people employed across the technology and AI ecosystem, over USD 1.1 billion in proposed Government investment, and a projected economic contribution of USD 1.7 trillion by 20351, India is poised to become a key driver in the global AI economy. At the same time, regulatory oversight is increasingly viewed as necessary to address concerns relating to transparency, accountability, bias, data privacy, cybersecurity, and consumer protection. The challenge for policymakers, therefore, lies in achieving a balance between fostering innovation and promoting responsible AI deployment.

Use Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) In Courts

On June 3, 2026, the Supreme Court of India’s AI Committee released preliminary draft of the Regulations for Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Courts, 2026 (“The Draft”). This marks a shift from scattered experiments with AI tools for translation, transcription, research and case management. With over 93,000 pending matters as of March 2026, the guidelines aim to ease processes for officials and citizens. AI could help reduce backlogs through automated cause-list preparation, transcription, research, and defect scrutiny, but its use also raises serious concerns.

CERT-In’s New AI-Vulnerability Guidelines: A Quick-Reference For OEMs, Tech Vendors And In-House Counsel

Cybersecurity regulation in India has, until now, largely spoken to the entity that suffers the breach. The 2022 CERT-In Directions issued under Section 70B of the Information Technology Act, 2000 fixed a six-hour reporting clock on the organisation that detects an incident. The new Guidelines flip the lens onto the entity upstream of that breach, the OEM or technology provider that built the product in the first place. For the first time, vendors supplying software, firmware, cloud platforms, or APIs into India carry direct, time-bound, and independently verifiable obligations of their own and not obligations that are merely passed through a customer contract, but obligations CERT-In itself may enforce.

Cybersecurity Is Now A Contract Risk: What India's New Power-Sector Regulations Mean For Technology Vendors

For most technology vendors, cybersecurity has been a promise made to a customer, set out in a statement of work and enforced, if at all, through the contract. For vendors supplying India's power sector, that is changing. The Central Electricity Authority (Cyber Security in Power Sector) Regulations, 2026, notified on 31 July 2026 under the Electricity Act, 2003, impose obligations directly on vendors, alongside a far more demanding set of requirements for the power-sector entities they serve. Most of these provisions come into force on 1 April 2027.

No Name? No Escape From Criminal Prosecution: Supreme Court Answers In Sanofi v CBI

The Supreme Court has held that criminal proceedings against a company cannot be quashed merely because no natural person acting for it has been identified or arraigned. Allegations must prima facie reveal that a natural person acted on behalf of the company and that the surrounding circumstances do not render the existence of the requisite mens rea patently absurd or inherently improbable.
