NEW DELHI: India will examine concerns raised by foreign technology companies around stringent rules to store data locally, the government said on June 18, an issue that has upset firms such as Mastercard and also irked the US government.

The decision to review the rules comes at a time when trade tensions between India and United States have risen. India imposed higher tariffs on some US goods on June 16, following Washington's withdrawal of key trade privileges for New Delhi.
