Among other changes the directive from the Indian Computer Emergency
Response Team (CERT) requires tech companies to report data breaches within
six hours of noticing such incidents and to maintain IT and communications logs
for six months.

On Thursday, VPN service provider ExpressVPN removed its servers from India,
saying it "refuses to participate in the Indian government's attempts to limit
internet freedom".

IAMAI's letter follows one from 11 significant tech-aligned industry associations

earlier this week, which said the new requirements made it difficult to do
business in India.

India has tightened regulation of big tech firms in recent years, prompting
pushback from the industry and in some cases even straining trade ties between
New Delhi and Washington.

New Delhi has said the new rules were needed as cybersecurity incidents were
reported regularly but the requisite information needed to investigate them was
not always readily available from service providers.
