On January 11, 2026, reports emerged indicating that India is set to roll out 83 security standards. These standards would compel smartphone manufacturers to share their source code with the government, make necessary software modifications, and notify the government of any significant updates. This initiative has ignited strong private opposition from tech behemoths like Apple and Samsung. These companies argue that such standards lack global precedents and carry the risk of exposing proprietary corporate information to potential leaks. In response, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology of India has expressed its willingness to address industry concerns and is actively engaging in consultations with tech firms.
