Empowering Governance through Digital Infrastructure

India’s governance has undergone a fundamental transformation through Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). Public services that once depended on extensive paperwork and physical offices are now available through integrated digital platforms. Over the past 12 years, DPI has connected citizens, governments and institutions on an unprecedented scale. It has made governance faster, transparent and more responsive to citizens’ needs.

Digital infrastructure has also emerged as a cornerstone of India’s economic growth. Digital Economy now contributes about 12–14% of India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and is projected to account for 20% over the next decade. India is now the world’s fifth-largest digitalised economy and the fourth-highest ranked G20 economy, according to the State of India’s Digital Economy Report 2026. As India marks its 80th Independence Day, the continued expansion of digital governance is strengthening service delivery, enabling economic opportunities and advancing the vision of Viksit Bharat.Guided by the vision of Make in India, India has emerged as a global hub for electronics manufacturing. Flagship initiatives, including the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS), India Semiconductor Mission (ISM), Modified Electronics Manufacturing Clusters (EMC 2.0), have strengthened domestic manufacturing in India.
