In order to ensure the protection of individuals' personal data in the digital age, it is essential to have a well-defined set of data protection regulations in place. This article provides a comparison of two of the most important data protection regulations in India, namely the GDPR and the DPDP. The Digital Personal Data Protection Act (DPDPA) is a major development for India's Privacy System, as it aims to replace the existing patchwork of data protection laws and regulations. There has been a long-standing need for the Government of India to establish a comprehensive and unified data protection regime that is comparable to global standards. Because of its identical norms and regulations, the Digital Personal Data Protection Act is deemed equivalent to the General Data Protection Regulation. The first section outlines the measures that led to the creation of GDPR and how they have influenced the creation of the Digital Personal Data Protection Act. This article provides an overview while comparing and discussing how DPDP compares to the EU's GDPR. GDPR has a significant impact on the development of the DPDPA, 2023. While both legislations seek to protect personal data, they differ in a number of ways, including scope, territorial applicability, and data subject rights. Furthermore, we want to delve deeper into the key clauses of both India's Personal Data Protection Act and the EU's GDPR. We have also tried to highlight certain key issues and analysis that are present in the newly formed Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023.
