India wired broadband market is projected to grow from around $ 200 million in 2019 to $ 243 million by 2024. Currently, penetration of wired broadband in the country is very low, which presents an opportunity for the wired broadband companies to expand their presence across the country. According to Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI), as of March 2019, there were 18.42 million wired broadband subscribers in India compared with around 545 million wireless broadband subscribers. India broadband market is anticipated to move towards bundled plans offering unlimited calling, cable TV and OTT. Increasing applications of ICT services, low transaction costs and increasing connectivity are further expected to drive the market. Also, the central government has issued Right of Way (RoW) model pertaining to broadband service expansion, which provides a right to the telecom providers to lay down their telecom infrastructure in the country. As a part of BharatNet project, the government of India also planned to connect 250,000 gram panchayats with broadband, which is expected to be completed by 2023. As of now, the government has successfully laid optical fiber in 100,000 gram panchayats, which is further positively influencing the market.
