GSMA says by 2030, half of the Indian population will be on 5G, with over 641 million subscribers, growing at 49 per cent — the fastest amongst emerging 5G markets since 2003 — just after Latin America, which is projected to grow by 55 per cent to 425 million subscribers.

This unprecedented growth in 5G subscribers in India will also lead to a massive expansion of data consumption, impelling Indian telcos to make large investments.
