India's Data Breach Costs Reach Record High of ₹22 Crore
The cost of data breaches in India is going up, reaching a high of Rs 22 crore.
It now takes less time to find and stop these breaches.
However, many companies aren't using AI security.
Phishing, outside vendors, and weaknesses in systems are causing the most problems.
Using AI tools without permission also makes things more expensive.
Companies need to improve their security to keep costs down.
Average cost of a data breach in India hit a record of Rs 22 crore in 2025.
Time to identify and contain breaches decreased to 263 days, a 15-day reduction from 2024.
Only 37% of Indian organizations have implemented AI access controls.
Phishing, third-party vendor compromise, and vulnerability exploitation are leading breach causes.
Shadow AI increased average breach costs by Rs 17.9 million.
