ABSTRACT
The Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) is a watershed moment in the changing legal environment of India for digital regulation. Passed in response to heightened alarm about data privacy and the Supreme Court's historic ruling in Justice K.S. Puttaswamy v. Union of India (2017), the Act seeks to reconcile the right to privacy with economic and administrative concerns. This research paper critically discusses the DPDP Act conceptually in terms of consent, control, and compliance. It probes into the character of data principal rights, fiduciary duties, and institutional enforcement mechanisms. Comparative analysis with the GDPR and CCPA has been provided to place India's data protection law within the global context. The report highlights critical challenges and provides policy suggestions to enhance the implementation and efficacy of the Act.
