Welcome to Broadband India Summit 2026...

India’s broadband landscape is undergoing a transformative shift with the accelerated expansion of fiber networks, widespread 5G rollouts, emergence of satellite internet, and focused rural connectivity initiatives. These developments are not only enhancing urban digital ecosystems but are also bridging the digital divide across remote and underserved regions. With data consumption surging and digital services becoming integral to governance, business, healthcare, and education, robust broadband infrastructure has become the backbone of India’s digital future.

As India accelerates toward becoming a $1 trillion digital economy, the role of next-generation broadband infrastructure becomes increasingly critical. From enabling smart cities and Industry 4.0 to supporting digital healthcare, online education, fintech, and e-governance, reliable and high-speed connectivity is central to inclusive growth.

Driven by strong policy support and progressive reforms, the Government of India has been actively spearheading initiatives to strengthen connectivity nationwide. Flagship programmes such as BharatNet aim to connect over 2.5 lakh Gram Panchayat with high-speed broadband, while the Digital India mission continues to accelerate digital inclusion and e-governance. The rollout of PM-WANI is democratizing access to public Wi-Fi hotspots, and the Production Linked Incentive Scheme is boosting domestic manufacturing of telecom and networking equipment.

Additionally, the launch of Gati Shakti National Master Plan is enabling faster deployment of digital infrastructure through integrated planning, while spectrum reforms and simplified Right of Way (RoW) policies are facilitating faster fiberization and 5G expansion. The government’s focus on satellite communication reforms and opening up of the space sector is further paving the way for next-generation connectivity solutions, especially in remote and geographically challenging regions.

Bharat Exhibitions and Broadband India Forum are proud to announce the 4th edition of the Broadband India Summit 2026, taking place on 24th June 2026 at Hotel Holiday Inn, Mumbai. Centered around the theme " Next-Gen Connectivity: Powering Digital Bharat through Fiber, 5G, Satellite & Beyond," the summit will bring together policymakers, telecom operators, infrastructure providers, technology leaders, and investors explore scalable strategies, innovative business models, and emerging technologies shaping the future of broadband in India. The summit will serve as a premier knowledge-sharing and networking platform, addressing key challenges such as last-mile connectivity, affordability, spectrum management, infrastructure sharing, and sustainable network deployment. It will also highlight opportunities arising from the convergence of 5G, fiber, satellite communications, IoT, AI, and edge computing.
