India is the world's second-most populous country; it is also the first country around the world to a program for family planning. The National Program for Family Planning was launched in 1952 as a means to control the population. However, India has one of the world’s most significant number of AIDS patients due to the lack of awareness regarding safe intercourse practices. Over the years, the emphasis of condom marketing has shifted from having a utility aspect to more eroticism. To fix the cons of this transformation, the government of India is launching various initiatives and implementation programs to achieve stability in population; reduce the rate of maternal, infant, and child mortality; and promote safe reproductive health. The National Health Mission, and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, updated the National Health Policy and National Rural Health Mission in 2017; these policies promote the use of condoms as method of contraception. To support the cause, the Indian government, in collaboration with HLL Lifecare, introduced the Nirodh brand of condoms intending to provide dual protection from unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STI). Moreover, in 2017, the AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) launched India's first free condom store with an intention to reduce HIV/AIDS cases in the country.

The government of India also distributes free condoms under its AIDS prevention program operated by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) via health centers. Also, the government is supporting e-commerce in the country for people to easily access basic and advanced consumer goods, and condoms are a considerable part of these goods. Since 2014, the Government of India is instituting initiatives such as Make in India, Skill India, and Innovation Fund to support e-commerce growth in the country. In 2018, it uplifted foreign direct investment (FDI) by 100% in the e-commerce market, with an aim to provide benefits of online marketing in even remote locations of the country. Similarly, the Union Budget of 2018–2019 ruled out US$ 1.24 billion (INR 8000 crore) for BharatNet Project for the provision of broadband services to 150,000 village councils (gram panchayats) in India.
