# SI safety in India

India has chosen guidelines over new legislation. The India AI Governance Guidelines released by MeitY on November 5, 2025 rely on existing laws and voluntary measures, coordinated by an AI Governance Group supported by an expert committee and the AI Safety Institute, and India hosted the February 2026 AI Impact Summit.
