India is introducing a new law that makes it mandatory to store user data like
IP addresses, names, emails and financial transactions of their clients for up
to 5 years. It would go in effect on 27-06-2022, but it's postponed to 25 September.

Couple of major VPN providers already left the country (or are thinking about it) like:
- ExpressVPN
- NordVPN
- SurfShark
- Windscribe

This only applies for physical servers, so technically it would still be possible to have
an Indian IP through a virtual server. It's just best to keep an eye out what your
VPN provider is doing related to what you are doing with said VPN.

Always sad to see surveillance ramping up. VPN sales will probably increase a lot if people in India care about privacy

Very interesting

VPNS are indeed essential tools, and demand is expected to increase, not decrease. Users may use some foreign brands of VPN, but they will certainly face the problem of poor VPN service quality.
