Protecting Critical Infrastructure and Raising India’s Cyber Response Maturity
FTI Consulting is a market-leading global consulting firm which offers a comprehensive suite of services designed to assist clients across the business cycle—from proactive risk management to the ability to respond rapidly to unexpected crises and dynamic environments.
India’s critical infrastructure — including energy, transport, financial services, healthcare and other essential sectors — is increasingly exposed to cyber threats. As the country accelerates its digital transformation, the need to secure national infrastructure has never been more urgent.
This report, Trusted Bharat Critical Infrastructure Protection, outlines why protecting these assets must be a shared strategic priority for both government and industry. It also highlights the risks of a fragmented or reactive approach to cyber resilience.
What the Report Covers
Prepared by FTI Consulting in consultation with government stakeholders, leading Indian companies and technology sector experts, the paper presents a practical, forward-looking roadmap to strengthen India’s infrastructure resilience.
Global Benchmarking of Cyber Readiness
Assesses India’s preparedness by comparing it with six global jurisdictions, across four critical parameters: policy and regulation, risk management and assessments, implementation capacity and budgets, and cross-sector partnerships.
Ten Actionable Recommendations
Outlines clear, time-bound steps for government and industry to implement over the next 12 to 36 months. These include proposals for a USD 10 billion National Cyber Resilience Fund, a public–private Cyber Resilience Taskforce, and a national cyber skilling program.
A Strategic Call to Action
The report emphasizes the urgent need for integrated cyber maturity planning, significantly increased cybersecurity budgets, and long-term coordination between government, regulators, critical infrastructure operators, and technology partners to protect India's national assets.
