History

With the live transmission of the Tokyo Olympics in 1960 through satellite 'Syncom-3', the world realized the importance of space technologies. Recognising the benefits of satellite communications, the Department of Atomic Energy formed the Indian National Committee for Space Research ("INCOSPAR") in 1962. With the launch of India's first rocket from Thumba near Thiruvananthapuram in November 1963, India's space program took off. Thereafter, the Indian Space Research Organisation ("ISRO") was formed on August 15, 1969, and superseded INCOSPAR. ISRO's main objective was to harvest the benefits of outer space for India and mankind through science, engineering and technology. In 1972, the Department of Space ("DOS") was set up and ISRO was brought under DOS.

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.
