India's Cybercrime Response: Strengthening Digital Resilience

India’s cybercrime landscape is alarming, with losses projected to reach ₹20,000 crore in 2025, a stark rise from ₹7,465 crore in 2023, as cyber fraud incidents surged. The Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) has initiated comprehensive measures, including the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal and a 24/7 helpline, achieving significant fraud prevention. However, challenges persist, including delayed reporting, jurisdictional complications, and inadequate technical expertise among law enforcement. To enhance cyber resilience, immediate reforms are recommended, such as simplifying reporting interfaces and standardizing banking protocols. These steps are crucial for bolstering India’s digital infrastructure and protecting its economic ambitions, emphasizing the need for a cohesive and proactive approach to combat evolving cyber threats effectively.
