Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India’s remarkable progress in the telecom sector during the inauguration of the 9th edition of the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025 on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre in Dwarka, Delhi, he said the growth of India Mobile Congress and the country’s achievements in telecom are a testament to the strength of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision.
PM Modi recalled that India, which once faced challenges with 2G connectivity, has now successfully expanded 5G networks to nearly every district across the nation.
This transformation, he said, demonstrates how innovation, self-reliance, and technology are driving India’s digital revolution and enabling faster connectivity and modern infrastructure nationwide.
After inaugurating the 9th edition of the India Mobile Congress (IMC 2025), Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, "IMC events are no longer limited to just mobile or telecom. In just a few years, this IMC event has become Asia's largest digital technology forum."
He added that this success story reflects India’s progress in technology and innovation, driven by the country’s tax-saving mindset, its talented youth, skilled individuals, innovators, and startups. "This has been possible because today the government stands firmly behind the country's talent and capabilities," the Prime Minister said.
