What is the ROI of DPDP Act 2023 compliance? The return on investment of DPDP compliance comes from three sources: avoided penalties (up to ₹250 crore per breach), avoided breach costs (average data breach in India costs ₹19.5 crore as of 2024), and competitive advantage with enterprise clients who require DPDP compliance from their vendors. For a mid-sized company, investing ₹5–15 lakh in a comprehensive compliance programme provides protection against penalty exposure that is 10–50x larger, making DPDP compliance one of the highest-ROI risk management investments available.
