Creating a Blueprint for Zero CAPEX Smart City Digital Infrastructure: How Sterlite Electric Reimagined Urban Connectivity Through a PPP Model

As Indian cities become increasingly connected, digital infrastructure has emerged as a critical enabler of urban development.

Sterlite Electric’s Convergence team addressed this challenge through an innovative DBFOOT (Design-Build-Finance-Own-Operate-Transfer) model that fundamentally reimagined how urban digital infrastructure could be developed.

This execution model by Sterlite Electric’s Convergence Team was bought to life with on-ground expertise in operating shared digital infrastructure at scale.

Beyond creating a reliable digital network, the project fundamentally changed the economics of urban infrastructure development.

The GMDA and Sterlite Electric partnership remains a benchmark for urban digital infrastructure in India.
