The Print: MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan confirms India is in active talks with Anthropic and U.S. authorities to secure Claude Mythos access for Indian entities
MeitY Secretary S. Krishnan confirmed on April 28 that the Indian government is working out the 'logistics' with U.S. authorities to include Indian entities in Project Glasswing. A senior MeitY official separately confirmed active conversations with Anthropic for possible access, while IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw and Department of Financial Services officials expressed urgency about building capacity before other frontier AI models launch. Industry body Nasscom wrote to Anthropic arguing Indian technology firms maintain critical code used by organizations worldwide and that inclusion in the global consortium is 'imperative.'
India's IT ministry confirming active access negotiations marks the country's transition from strategic watch to named access-seeking government, making India the first major tech-exporting nation outside the U.S. and Europe publicly seeking inclusion in Project Glasswing.

The Print: Finance Minister Sitharaman chairs emergency Mythos risk meeting with bank chiefs and RBI; CERT-In issues high-severity advisory on April 26
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman chaired a meeting on April 23 with bank chiefs, RBI officials, and MeitY representatives to assess the risks Claude Mythos poses to India's financial systems, describing the threat as 'unprecedented' and calling for a real-time threat-intelligence-sharing system across banks, CERT-In, and other agencies. Three days later, on April 26, CERT-In issued a high-severity advisory about frontier AI models, formalizing India's official cyber risk posture on Mythos-class capabilities.
India's Finance Minister personally chairing a cross-agency Mythos risk meeting — and CERT-In following with a formal advisory — shows a G20 government with no public Mythos access treating the model as a systemic financial and infrastructure threat requiring cabinet-level coordination.
