The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) closed 2025 on a high note, registering landmark achievements in connectivity, digital infrastructure, and telecom self-reliance.
A Year-End Review statement released by the Ministry of Communications highlighted unprecedented growth in internet and mobile penetration, rapid nationwide rollout of 5G services, and major strides in indigenous technology development.
One of the most significant milestones of the year was the launch of the National Broadband Mission (NBM) 2.0 in January 2025, aimed at accelerating India’s digital transformation.
The mission envisions extending high-speed broadband to villages, schools, health centres and other anchor institutions, aligning with the government’s vision of a “Viksit Bharat” by 2047. India’s telecom footprint expanded rapidly during the year. Internet connections crossed the one-billion mark to reach over 100 crore, a nearly fourfold increase from 2014.
