The DPDP Act imposes compliance costs on companies handling personal data in India, affecting tech firms, telecoms, and digital platforms. The legal challenge creates regulatory uncertainty but enforcement continues. Impact is India-specific; no direct commodity or supply chain scarcity. Commercial mechanism is regulatory compliance cost, not price or volume shock.
