India Telecom Cable Market Trends:

Surge in Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Deployments

India's telecom cable market is expanding rapidly with the growth of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks. Rising demand for high-speed internet, driven by remote work, online education, and digital entertainment, is prompting heavy investments in fiber-optic infrastructure. Government initiatives like BharatNet and Digital India are accelerating last-mile fiber connectivity, especially in rural areas. Over 1.17 million FTTH connections have been commissioned, along with 104,574 Wi-Fi hotspots, enhancing connectivity. As FTTH adoption increases, the need for high-bandwidth, low-latency fiber cables is surging. Competition among service providers to offer ultra-fast broadband is driving infrastructure upgrades and fiber rollout. The transition from copper to fiber networks is reshaping the market, boosting demand for advanced telecom cabling solutions across urban and semi-urban regions.

Rising Demand from 5G Infrastructure Rollout

The rollout of 5G technology is reshaping India's telecom cable market, driving demand for high-capacity, low-loss fiber optic cables. Nationwide 5G deployment requires dense fiber connectivity to support high data throughput and ultra-low latency. The installation of small cells, edge data centers, and distributed antenna systems is accelerating telecom cabling expansion. Also, 5G use in smart cities, autonomous cars, and industrial automation is encouraging network upgrade by infrastructure providers. India's data center capacity is likely to almost double from 950 MW to 1,800 MW by 2026 driven by artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, and digital expansion. This transition is pushing cable manufacturers to develop advanced solutions, such as micro cables and bend-insensitive fibers, to meet evolving performance and space-saving demands in an increasingly data-driven economy.

Growth in Underground and Aerial Cabling Projects

The Indian telecom cable market is seeing strong growth in underground and aerial cabling projects, driven by urban modernization and network reliability demands. Smart city initiatives and urban infrastructure projects are increasing the need for concealed, weather-resistant, and tamper-proof cable installations. Underground cabling enhances resilience, lowers maintenance costs, and improves aesthetics, with the government’s Integrated Power Development Scheme (IPDS) allocating ₹20 billion for 18,008 km of underground cabling across states. In rural and semi-urban regions, aerial cabling remains a preferred choice due to cost-effectiveness and ease of deployment. To achieve maximum network coverage and effectiveness, state governments and private companies are embracing hybrid deployment models. In order to meet evolving telecom infrastructure needs, this diversification is increasing demand for specialized cable solutions including armored fiber cables and self-supporting aerial cables.
