Key discussion points
Federation vs consolidation. Consensus that "federation" language is correct; states retain sovereign control of citizen datasets while opting into shared consent fabric.
Compute allocation. C-DAC's proposal for Bhubaneswar DC needs an additional ₹ 1,120 crore — to be raised as a supplementary demand.
DPDP §17 alignment. Consent Manager Rules (draft) reviewed. Publication targeted for 12 Jul (see Gazette 2026/EL/1129).
