Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said that the government is taking numerous steps to free the IT industry from unnecessary regulations. Speaking at the Nasscom Technology & Leadership Forum 2021, Modi cited the liberalised regulations on geospatial data, making it freely available in the country for innovation and IT companies. The change is made specifically for Indian companies through updating the current guidelines pertaining to developing map technologies. The Prime Minister congratulated the Indian IT industry for running the industry even during Covid-19 restrictions. The Prime Minister further said the large population of the country is the IT industry s biggest strength as people are eager to adopt newer solutions.
