While the decrease in rank for median fixed broadband speeds is a concern, it is expected that the ongoing investments in digital infrastructure along with the government’s Bharat Net scheme, which is building broadband connectivity to households under village Panchayats and even to government institutions at the district level and intends to cover all 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayats for the provision of E-governance, E-healthcare, E-Commerce, E-Education, and Public Interest Access services, will lead to further improvements in the coming years. Nonetheless, there was a slight increase in fixed median download speeds, rising from 50.02 Mbps in January to 50.87 Mbps in February. This progress is particularly noteworthy as India had ranked 105th globally in November 2022 and was ahead of some of the G20 countries, such as Mexico, Russia, and Argentina, and its neighbours: Indonesia, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan.Ĭontrary to the mobile speeds, India has decreased two spots in rank globally for overall median fixed broadband speeds, dropping from 79th in January to 81st in February. The increase in fixed median download speeds is also noteworthy and could benefit businesses and individuals nationwide. This progress in mobile download speeds is a positive sign, especially with the growing reliance on mobile networks for work and communication.
