Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia dropped a game-changing statement in Parliament: India’s telecom journey evolves from 4G follower to 5G peer and future 6G pioneer. This vision, shared amid Lok Sabha discussions, charts a bold course for the digital future.
Breaking records, India rolled out 5G to 99.9% districts in 22 months, outpacing global peers. Backed by ₹4 lakh crore from telcos and 5 lakh+ BTS sites, 40 crore citizens now enjoy high-speed services, eyeing 1 billion by 2030.
Focus sharpens on last-mile connectivity via expansive Wi-Fi networks, revolutionizing rural India. Maharashtra shines in hotspot rollout, as broadband explodes from 6 crore to 1 billion connections over ten years. Government targets enhanced infrastructure by decade’s end.
Under PM Modi’s stewardship, India emerges as a tech trailblazer, democratizing digital access nationwide. Villages buzz with opportunities in learning, medicine, and business. Globally, NRI 2025 sees India at 45th, scoring 54.43/100—up from prior years—dominating key areas.
This trajectory not only promises 6G leadership but redefines India’s role in global innovation, ensuring technology serves every corner.
