Two-phase strategy aims to boost inclusion, innovation and productivity across key sectors
India has set out a roadmap to transform its economy into a US$30 trillion powerhouse by 2047, centred on the next generation of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), reports ANI, a partner of TV BRICS.
The strategy outlines a two-phase approach – DPI 2.0 and DPI 3.0 – designed to accelerate inclusive growth and expand economic opportunity across society. According to experts, the plan targets a per capita income of US$18,000. The approach builds on earlier digital foundations and shifts the focus towards large-scale livelihood creation and innovation-led growth.
The first phase, DPI 2.0 (2025–2035), will prioritise building capabilities among citizens and expanding access to digital tools. This stage is intended to lay the groundwork for DPI 3.0 (2035–2047), which will focus on unlocking high-value local economies and fostering grassroots innovation.
Officials say the strategy marks a transition from basic digital services to a more advanced system where productivity, rather than incremental gains, becomes the main driver of economic expansion. India’s earlier digital infrastructure has already enabled widespread access to identity systems, financial services and digital transactions at scale.
The roadmap identifies eight priority areas for transformation, including support for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, agriculture, education, and healthcare. For businesses, the plan aims to expand market access through digital platforms and improve job matching systems. In agriculture, it focuses on raising farmer incomes through data-driven services and stronger links to markets.
Strengthening human capital is a central pillar of the plan. The roadmap highlights the importance of accessible, learner-focused education in local languages and expanded healthcare coverage.
Authorities emphasise that achieving the 2047 target will require coordinated efforts across government institutions, academia and civil society, alongside strong frameworks for data security, privacy and interoperability.
