India Seeks Industry Input on Trade Secrets, Whistleblower and Contract Laws
The Indian government announced a public consultation with businesses to shape new legislation covering trade secrets protection, whistleblower safeguards and stronger contract enforcement mechanisms. The move aims to align domestic rules with global standards and boost investor confidence by clarifying legal recourse for commercial disputes and confidential information breaches.
The government will open a consultation period for industry stakeholders to provide feedback on three key reforms:
- Trade secrets law: defining confidential business information and penalties for misuse.
- Whistleblower safeguards: protecting individuals who report corporate misconduct.
- Contract enforcement: streamlining dispute resolution and strengthening legal remedies.
