Impunity
Cyber crime usually targets external countries and it brings money in to the local economy, so little incentive for the government to target it
Same as hackers in Russia having impunity as long as they're not targeting USSR countries

A lot of baseless speculation here considering that the Indian police regularly work with the FBI to bust up cyber-crime - and this is regularly reported. Could you please offer some evidence to support your allegations ?

India is a hot spot for cyber crime and scam call centers
Sure you can read articles about apprehensions every single day, but India is a big country, arresting 10 people every day makes no difference if there's (imagine) 100k people in the industry at any given time
abstract terms with no implications
Compare that with solid $ figures: if there's 1B in cyber crime money flowing to India per year split by 100k workers
that's $10k/year each, double average salary in india
Same like Russia, there can be a lot of complaints about Russia, but everyone still buying oil from Russia
The Indian version of the FBI can't operate in states without their explicit permission, and there have been multiple cases where state police will end up arresting each other because competing politicians in neighboring states would file motions against each other.

I can post 2 dozen such bust-ups in the last few years alone. The problem is that India is large nation with a humongous internet-growing population and the Indian police are still far behind their western counterparts. Also, compared to the FBI, the Indian CBI lacks teeth.
Please note that the FBI also ranks India as among the top five countries in terms of total cybercrime victims.
The machine translation of those chats and internal read me docs from Russian to English resulted in some hilarious loss of nuance - sentences like “removing the admins eggs” (which is idiom - eggs meaning balls, and more so meant subverting the admins privileges).
