₹1 trn annual investment, 1 mn new jobs: Govt sets telecom goal for 2030

July 25, 2025

|

Business Standard

The government aims to double annual investment in the telecommunications sector to ₹1 trillion, increase exports of telecom products, services, and startups by twofold, and create 1 million new jobs by 2030, according to the draft National Telecom Policy (NTP) 2025.

- AASHISH ARYAN

The draft policy, released on Thursday, has invited stakeholder comments within the next 21 days.

The policy proposes that the telecom sector's contribution to the country's gross domestic product (GDP) should double within the next five years. Alongside creating 1 million new jobs, an equal number of people would be re-skilled or up-skilled to meet future industry demand.

For network infrastructure, the draft sets a 2030 goal of increasing tower fiberisation from the current 46 per cent to 80 per cent, and achieving 90 per cent 5G population coverage.
