DPDP rollout to increase tech budgets by 10-30%
Financial Express Mumbai
|November 24, 2025
Companies have 12-18 months’ transition window
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF the Digital Personal Data Protection (DPDP) rules is expected to drive a sharp rise in technology and compliance spending across enterprises, with industry estimates indicating a 10-30% increase in IT and tech budgets, depending on organisational scale and data maturity.
Following the government’s notification of the rules, companies have a transition window of about 12-18 months to rework their systems to meet new requirements. This includes redesigning consent and notice mechanisms, updating data-retention procedures, preparing for mandatory breach reporting and enabling user-rights features. The overhaul is expected to influence legal, operational and technology functions simultaneously, leading to a broad-based rise in compliance costs.
