India's digital infra needs up to $23 bn investment by 2025: Report

The digital infrastructure sector will require up to $23 billion in investment by 2025 to meet the growing demand for digital services and rising online traffic, according to a report.

EY recently released a joint report with the Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA) that shared data projections for investment in physical-digital infrastructure needed to connect people online by 2025.

According to a joint report by EY and DIPA, up to 330 million people will use 5G, and industries such as e-commerce, education, and healthcare will expand their online presence.

By 2025, EY estimates that the segment will require investments in the range of $17 to $23 billion.

This includes $7 billion to $9 billion in macro tower additions and fibre deployments, $2-3 billion in outdoor small cells, which will be critical for 5G rollout, $500-800 million in Wi-Fi and in-building solutions, $500-700 million in edge data centres, and $500 million in data centres.

The Digital Infrastructure Providers Association (DIPA) is a trade association that represents India's digital infrastructure industry, which develops, builds, owns, and operates the country's wireless infrastructure. They bring together a dynamic group of companies that enable consumers to live a connected life in the 21st century, from infrastructure providers and equipment manufacturers to electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and fibre deployers.

DIPA has become a key driver for innovation and the digital revolution in the Indian telecom ecosystem since its inception in 2010.
