Digital invitation vs printed wedding cards
Printing 300 wedding cards costs roughly ₹15,000 to ₹50,000 before courier, and cannot be corrected once printed. A digital invitation costs ₹1,999 once, reaches everyone the same day, and can be edited after sending.

The case for printing some cards
There is a real one. Elders expect a card in hand, the first card goes to the temple or the gurdwara, and a printed invitation is part of the ceremony in many families.
Most couples now do both: a small print run of thirty to fifty cards for the people who should receive one by hand, and the link for everybody else. That is usually a tenth of the printing cost.
Where the money actually goes
The printing is only part of it. Courier, the cards that arrive after the wedding, the reprint when a venue changes, and the cards printed for guests who were never going to come. None of that appears in the quote from the press.
The part that has no printed equivalent
A printed card is finished the day it leaves the press. A live invite is still working the week of the wedding: you can move a time, add a map link the venue only just sent you, and see how many people are actually coming.

Common questions
For 300 guests, typically ₹15,000 to ₹50,000 depending on paper and finish, before courier. Courier adds ₹20 to ₹80 per card.
Many couples print a small run of thirty to fifty for elders and close family and send the link to everyone else. That keeps the tradition and removes most of the cost.
It is now the normal way most of an Indian guest list is invited. A well designed invite that opens full screen on a phone reads as more considered than a compressed photograph of a card.
