Mumbai, April 18, 2026: The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India, has constituted the Technology and Policy Expert Committee (TPEC), a standing expert advisory body tasked with providing specialised technical, policy and strategic expertise to support the functioning of the recently constituted AI Governance and Economic Group (AIGEG).
As an advisory body for the AIGEG, it will provide the Group with expert inputs necessary to make well-informed decisions on policy design, regulatory measures and India’s engagements in AI governance across international forums.
The TPEC, chaired by the Secretary, Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology, brings together a carefully selected group of experts spanning academic research, the technology industry and digital policy. The AI Governance Guidelines task the Committee with ensuring that the AIGEG’s governance deliberations are supported by a contemporary and nuanced understanding of technological developments, policy approaches, regulatory design and global practices, while remaining responsive to India’s unique social, economic and strategic context.
Within India’s newly created AI governance architecture, the AIGEG will set the strategic direction and coordinate policy across government, while the TPEC will provide subject matter guidance by translating technical and policy issues into actionable insights.
This institutional framework has been designed to enable a dynamic, adaptive and future-forward approach to AI governance and to ensure strategic, technical and policy coherence in governance decisions.
