520			_aIndia’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047,becoming a fully developed, inclusive, and globally respected nation by the centenary of independence rests on achieving digital sovereignty. Digital sovereignty is the nation’s capacity to govern its own digital infrastructure, data, AI systems, and identity frameworks in alignment with constitutional values, ethical standards, and strategic interests. This paper analyzes two foundational pillars of that vision: building India’s AI backbone and enacting a Digital Consumer Protection Law for the AI era. It synthesizes the general context, current status, key challenges, proposed pathways, and milestones to 2047. The AI backbone pillar focuses on sovereign compute, domestic chip fabrication, public cloud, and largescale AI infrastructure, while the consumer protection pillar centers on rights based data consent, algorithmic accountability, and robust redressal. Together, these pillars articulate a roadmap for policy coherence, institutional capability, and infrastructure scale that can position India as a global leader in ethical, inclusive, and future ready technology.- Reproduced https://www.iipa.org.in/GyanKOSH/posts/digital-sovereignty-and-tech-policy
