King Stubb & Kasiva advises Hyderabad businesses on the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 and the DPDP Rules, 2025 from our office in Banjara Hills.
Hyderabad is a major centre for IT services, global capability centres, and pharmaceuticals and life sciences, and it is where the insurance regulator IRDAI is headquartered. Pharma and clinical research businesses handle patient and trial data, and capability centres process data for group companies abroad.
That mix raises processor, cross-border and sector questions under the DPDP Act. We help Hyderabad companies define their role for each data flow, align DPDP obligations with IRDAI and other sector rules, and prepare security safeguards and breach response.
For the full picture of the law, read our one-page guide to the DPDP Act in India.

The DPDP Rules, 2025 bring the Act into force in three stages.
Yes. The DPDP Act applies across India to digital personal data, whether collected online or collected offline and later digitised. It also applies to businesses outside India that offer goods or services to people in India.
The DPDP Rules, 2025 were notified on 13 November 2025. The Consent Manager provisions apply from 13 November 2026, and the core obligations on notice, consent, security safeguards, breach intimation, data principal rights and retention apply from 13 May 2027.
Yes, for personal data of people in India, such as their employees. Where a centre processes personal data of people outside India under a contract with its overseas parent, most obligations do not apply under section 17(1)(d), although the duty to take reasonable security safeguards still does.
Complaints under the DPDP Act go to the Data Protection Board of India, and appeals from the Board go to TDSAT within 60 days. Civil courts cannot hear matters the Board can decide, but writ petitions and constitutional challenges can be brought before the Telangana High Court.
