Regulations

India’s regulatory landscape is evolving rapidly as new technologies, markets, and governance challenges emerge. Balancing innovation with accountability has become central to public policy, especially as sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare, and artificial intelligence expand and intersect. Fragmented frameworks and overlapping jurisdictions often create uncertainty for industries and consumers alike.

The Centre for Development Policy and Practice (CDPP) began working on the domain of Regulations to study how and when to regulate, deregulate, or re-regulate across key sectors — infrastructure (power and transport), emerging sectors (gig economy and AI), and consumer sectors (food and healthcare). The current phase focuses on AI in healthcare and aviation, analysing how evolving technologies influence safety, accountability, and innovation.

CDPP’s research combines comparative policy analysis, international benchmarking, and sectoral case studies to develop practical recommendations for adaptive, transparent, and outcome-driven regulation that supports equitable growth and public welfare.
