At the #DIGICOMSummit2025, in the panel discussion on "Towards a Digitally Viksit Bharat - Policy & Regulatory Perspective," the panelists highlighted India's subscriber growth from 250 million in 2014 to over a billion in 2024, that showcases the transformative power of connectivity, despite challenges. Further, to achieve inclusive progress, reducing license fees, addressing right-of-way issues and promoting infrastructure sharing are essential, alongside robust fixed broadband infrastructure to support advanced technologies like AR, VR and remote learning. Aligning EMF norms with global standards, ensuring affordability, fostering parity between traditional and OTT platforms and streamlining regulatory processes will sustain 5G and 6G advancements, while driving India's digital economy towards contributing to 20% of the GDP by 2026. Bridging the digital divide remains critical to empowering everyone and ensuring holistic national progress." #DIGICOM2025 #EmpoweringViksitBharat #DigitalIndia #VoiceAndData #DigitalInnovation
