The government has ordered communication infrastructure providers to prevent telecom-related data from being shared outside India. According to an official notification cited by multiple outlets, the restriction applies to providers involved in areas such as cloud-based networks used for telecom services, mobile tower infrastructure, and satellite gateways. The Department of Telecommunications issues the mandate, requiring that telecommunication data be stored within India rather than transmitted or processed abroad. The move effectively bars these infrastructure providers from sharing data with entities outside the country and places an onus on them to ensure domestic storage and handling of relevant telecom data. The reporting focuses on the scope of covered providers and the core requirement that telecom data remain within national borders. Details such as timelines for compliance, specific technical implementation requirements, and any exceptions are not provided in the excerpts shared. Across the sources, the central point remains that the telecom regulator directs infrastructure and related network services to keep telecom data within India’s jurisdiction.
