The Indian government continues to bolster its cybersecurity framework to counter AI-powered deepfakes and evolving cyber threats, underscoring its commitment to digital safety. On August 8, 2025, Union Minister Jitin Prasada reaffirmed that laws including the Information Technology Act, 2000, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 form a comprehensive legal foundation against identity theft, privacy violations, and misinformation. The government has also issued advisories mandating digital platforms to remove synthetic and misleading content and to ensure platform accountability. Cybersecurity institutions like CERT-In, Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre, and the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal strengthen enforcement and awareness, with campaigns such as Cyber Jagrookta Diwas. Additionally, India’s innovative cybersecurity training programs, like the National Cyber Security Scholar Programme launching August 21 in Hyderabad, seek to build resilient cyber defenders, illustrating India’s proactive stance in securing its digital space.
