Make it "punishable by up to 5% of global turnover over last three years" (kinda similar to GDPR) and stand back and see how quickly Google (I'm looking at you too Facebook, and Amazon) will change their shit show. India is at a position of strength wrt Google, Amazon, and Fb to easily force them to play nice. Now if only they realized it.

it's india, i doubt anything will happen besides some combination of judge/businessman/politician getting their hands nice and greased up. only reason they even care is because the EU got google to cough up already, they're in it for their pound of flesh.
I will disagree with you here. Cases which are in the public eye are settled without the things you mentioned. There are Indian government institutions which are honest. Financial regulator and watchdog SEBI is one such institution. I have worked in the financial services industry are we were scared of SEBI. Competition Commission of India is also nonpartisan and has never been in a corruption scandal as far as I know.
