Answer:

DPDP Act applicability covers the processing of digital personal data within India, as well as processing outside India if it is connected to offering goods or services in India. The DPDP Rules 2025 and upcoming DPDP Act 2026 enforcement outline the operational aspects like consent frameworks and data breach reporting timelines.
