The Economic Survey unveils India’s telecom triumph: 5G services span 99.9 percent of districts, with density soaring to 86.76 percent from 75.23 percent in a decade of relentless progress.
Urban-rural divides have faded, thanks to expansive network rollouts that align with the government’s digital nation agenda—fostering inclusion, driving development and reforms, speeding solutions, and prioritizing security.
Parallel growth in data infrastructure is equally compelling. At 1,280 MW in June 2025, with diverse private and government operators, capacity is poised for a 4 GW explosion by 2030, fueled by AI, cloud, IoT, and 5G synergies.
Space domain feats shine brightly too. With 56 active assets—including 20 comms, 8 nav, 4 science, 21 EO, and 3 tech missions—2025’s SPADEX docking positioned India among elite nations. Private sector momentum and the landmark 100th Sriharikota launch of NVS-02 by cryogenic GSLV-F15 on January 29 cap a stellar year.
Collectively, these advancements herald a robust, connected India poised for global competitiveness.
