A working group constituted by India's electronics and IT ministry has recommended the monetisation of non-personal data held by government departments and ministries through a marketplace called the India Dataset Platform (IDP). The IDP would be a unified national data sharing and exchange platform, allowing data providers (government departments or agencies) to upload datasets for purchase by data consumers (research institutions, startups, etc.) for applications, innovation, or research purposes. However, there are concerns about the availability of data to non-Indian entities and the risk to privacy. | Latest News India
