The India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025 concluded in New Delhi on 11 October after four days of discussions, exhibitions, and live demonstrations that showcased the country’s rapid technological progress.
Held from 8 October at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, the event marked its largest edition yet. As Asia’s most influential technology and telecom platform, IMC 2025 brought together global stakeholders, innovators, and industry leaders to shape India’s digital future.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the event and highlighted India’s remarkable achievements in technology. He emphasised the progress made through initiatives such as Atmanirbhar Bharat and Make in India. “Today, with government support, Indian industry, startups, and academia are working together across many sectors. Bharat is moving forward in every dimension. India is emerging as an effective platform for innovation and progress,” he said. The Prime Minister also encouraged investment and innovation in manufacturing, semiconductors, mobile technology, and startups.
Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia noted that India has transformed from a “technology taker” to a “digital flag bearer of the world.” He said that over the past 11 years, the country has achieved a 98 per cent reduction in mobile data costs. India now accounts for 20 per cent of the world’s mobile users, with 1.2 billion subscribers, and broadband users have increased from 60 million in 2014 to 944 million. Scindia also announced that India has built the world’s largest digital highway, connecting millions and reinforcing its position on the global digital map.
The event hosted India’s first-ever Satcom Summit under the theme “Space Networks for Universal Connectivity,” where experts discussed how satellite technology can bridge the digital divide. Scindia added, “Satcom means doctor in every home and teacher in the remotest classroom.”
Experts discussed India’s growing 5G base of more than 65 million users and its readiness for 6G trials. At the International Bharat6G Symposium, global alliances endorsed principles for trusted, secure, and sustainable 6G connectivity.
Leading companies showcased innovations such as MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset, Tejas Networks’ Direct-to-Mobile technology, and BSNL’s 5G rollout plans. Officials also shared that new regulatory frameworks for satellite communication are being finalised, aiming to place India on par with developed spacefaring nations by 2040.
IMC 2025 successfully highlighted India’s growing digital strength, indigenous innovation, and leadership in next-generation technologies.
