Drafting of rules under the data protection legislation is in an advanced stage with industry-wide consultations slated soon, Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Saturday, asserting that India will also look at doubling electronics production and adding jobs under the Modi 3.0 government.

The minister for electronics and IT assured that regulatory work will see “good continuity” and that the agenda on digital regulatory framework remains “intact”. The timelines for semiconductor plants of Micron and the Tata group too are on track.
