NTP 2025: Setting new targets for telecom transformation
In 2018, the central government came out with the National Digital Communications Policy that replaced the National Telecom Policy, 2012. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government also decided to rechristen ‘Telecom Commission’ as ‘Digital Communications Commission’.
In two key initiatives that guide the growth and development of the sector, the term ‘telecom’ was replaced with ‘digital communications’.
The National Digital Communications Policy, 2018, was focused on catering to the “modern needs of the digital communications sector of India”.
