India has world’s lowest data costs, highest data usage: Scindia

Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Saturday said that India now has the world’s lowest data costs and the highest data usage, driven by robust digital infrastructure. There are more than 120 crore mobile users in the country, and the 4G network is expected to reach every village by June this year. “World’s lowest data costs, world’s leading data usage — India’s digital revolution, led by PM Narendra Modi, is truly built for its people,” the minister posted on social media platform X.According to Scindia, technology, spectrum, devices, applications and sustainability verticals must align seamlessly for innovations to mature and scale. The minister recently said that spectrum policy will be central to India’s 6G strategy and noted that India has already undertaken significant spectrum refarming, with more planned ahead.

BSNL has installed a total of 97,068 4G sites, of which 93,511 are ‘on air’ (as of October 31, 2025). The state-run telecom operator aims to upgrade all 4G towers to 5G within the next few months. Meanwhile, 5G services have been rolled out in all states and Union Territories (UTs) across the country and are currently available in 99.9 per cent of districts. As of October 31, telecom service providers (TSPs) have installed 5.08 lakh 5G Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) across rural and urban areas of the country. More than 31 lakh Base Transceiver Stations (BTSs) have been installed nationwide. To reduce call drops and improve internet connectivity in underserved areas, the government has taken several initiatives, including the BharatNet project to provide broadband connectivity to Gram Panchayats (GPs) and villages; schemes to provide mobile services in Left Wing Extremism (LWE)-affected areas and Aspirational Districts; the 4G Saturation scheme to provide 4G mobile coverage in all uncovered villages; and the launch of the GatiShakti Sanchar portal and Right of Way (RoW) Rules.
