Expansion of Fiber Optic Infrastructure
The Indian government’s aggressive push toward digital connectivity under the 'Digital India Mission' has fueled significant investments in fiber optic infrastructure. Aiming to connect all 600,000 villages with optical fiber, this initiative is set to drive a substantial increase in fixed broadband penetration. To support this, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has set an ambitious goal of expanding the country’s fiber optic network. This expansion is vital to cater to the surging demand for high-speed internet, driven by the rise of remote work and the growing consumption of high-bandwidth over-the-top (OTT) video services. As a result, India's fiber optic service revenue is poised for robust growth, strengthening the market’s long-term outlook. Leading this expansion is Reliance Jio, which accounted for approximately 31% of total broadband access lines in 2020, positioning itself as a key player in India’s fiber optics market. India also registered the fastest 5G rollout in the world covering more than 99% districts by installing 4.62 lakh 5G Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) as of December 2024.
Emergence of Satellite Internet Services
Satellite Internet services are set to transform India's broadband sector, especially in remote and underserved areas. SpaceX-owned Starlink, led by Elon Musk, is on the verge of securing regulatory approval to launch its satellite broadband services in the country. Analysts project India as a massive growth opportunity for Starlink, with an estimated market potential of USD 25 billion and the ability to reach hundreds of millions of users. In a strategic effort to strengthen its presence, Starlink has partnered with leading Indian telecom providers, Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, to enhance service delivery. These collaborations aim to extend high-speed internet access to millions in rural regions, contingent on government approval. By leveraging satellite technology and telecom partnerships, Starlink’s entry into India is expected to bridge the digital divide, enabling connectivity in previously unserved locations and significantly advancing the nation’s broadband infrastructure.
