Reliance Jio backed the reintroduction of data localisation in the draft Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) Rules during a consultation convened by the information technology ministry in New Delhi, people aware of the matter said.

The draft DPDP Rules, released for public consultation on January 3, are crucial for implementing the DPDP Act, which was notified in August 2023 but remains to be enforced.

During a consultation held on Tuesday, the telco’s executive voiced the company’s support for the creation of a committee that can make recommendations to the Centre on what kinds of personal data should not be transferred outside India and recommended that the names of the committee members should be made public, people aware of the matter said.
