Industry Outlook

India's telecom market is witnessing rapid growth due to government policies and increasing internet penetration. By December 2024, India’s broadband connections had grown sharply to nearly 945 million. This reflects a strong growth of the telecom sector and its role in expanding digital access.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has been making steady efforts to close the digital gap. It has a clear goal of bringing high-speed internet to every village by 2024. Going forward, India is expected to cross the 1 billion internet user mark by 2025. This highlights the importance of the telecom sector in promoting digital inclusion nationwide.
