India has rolled out 5G services across every State and UT, covering 99.9% of districts. Over 5.08 lakh 5G BTS have been deployed, supported by government schemes such as BharatNet, 4G Saturation and LWE-area connectivity. Faster Right of Way clearances through the GatiShakti Sanchar portal and widespread infrastructure sharing have accelerated deployment. Nationwide, total BTS installations across all technologies have crossed 31 lakh. India has reached a major technological milestone by achieving near- nationwide 5G network coverage across the country. With 5G services now available in almost all districts, the move is expected to significantly improve internet speed, digital infrastructure, and connectivity for businesses and consumers alike. In parallel, the government has also begun early discussions and research initiatives for the development of 6G technology. The upcoming generation of wireless communication aims to deliver ultra-low latency, higher data speeds, and advanced applications such as AI-driven networks, smart cities, and next-generation automation. Experts believe that India’s rapid progress in telecom infrastructure will strengthen its position as a global digital hub and support innovation across sectors including healthcare, education, manufacturing, and fintech.
