Summary/Abstract: The GDPR was implemented in 2018 to provide a balance between protecting personal data and privacy of data subjects. The implementation of GDPR has impacted various sectors. The extraterritoriality of the law on GDPR puts a pressure on companies and policy makers to re-examine the existing legal framework and India has not been insulated from the effects of implementation of GDPR. It puts a pressure on Indian trade bodies and upon government agencies to formulate a regulatory regime to achieve a synergy between Indian and EU laws. The paper will look at the GDPR law in the EU, as well as at international responses to the implementation of the GDPR and will consider the effect it will have on Indian businesses, the trade and investment between India and EU. The paper will study the consequences that the law will have in commercial exchanges especially in the context of EU-India bilateral trade negotiation. The authors have used the descriptive and analytical method research and have studied the implications of the introduction of GDPR especially for India.
