The 2023 report highlights a significant acceleration in enterprise investment because spending on Private 5G networks will be driven by new use cases in diverse industries in India and investment in private wireless networks is expected to reach around US$ 250 mn by 2027.
“India has seen a massive uptake of mobile broadband based on successful deployment of 4G LTE networks. We believe that 5G will take mobile broadband consumption to the next level in India by will enabling new digital use cases for both consumer and enterprise segments. It is essential that this growth is managed in a sustainable manner while supporting India’s aim to become a trillion-dollar digital economy.”
