PIB Backgrounder India’s Emerging Technology Ecosystem Technologies that will shape India’s future प्रविष्टि तिथि: 22 JUN 2026 10:41AM by PIB Delhi India has transformed from a large digital market into an emerging global technology power over the last decade. Earlier, India was largely viewed as a vast consumer base for digital services and internet-driven platforms. Today, the country is increasingly shaping global technology development through Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI), indigenous innovation, startup ecosystems, and emerging technology capabilities. Sustained government investments have strengthened national capability, expanded technological capacity, and enhanced global credibility. Mission-mode initiatives in Artificial Intelligence (AI), semiconductors, quantum technologies, supercomputing, cloud computing, and cybersecurity are shaping a strong innovation ecosystem. India’s trusted Digital Public Infrastructure, inclusive digital governance, and growing global partnerships are positioning the country as a reliable technology partner. These achievements are laying the foundation for Viksit Bharat 2047 and strengthening India’s role in the global technology landscape. Twelve years ago, India began a determined journey to make technology a key driver of Viksit Bharat. What followed was a sustained national effort to build digital infrastructure, strengthen innovation, and expand technology access for every citizen. The Government strengthened national technological capability through dedicated mission-mode programmes in emerging technologies such as semiconductors, Artificial Intelligence (AI), quantum technologies, supercomputing, blockchain, and cloud infrastructure. Long-term policy support and strategic investments enabled the development of indigenous technologies, secure digital systems, and globally competitive innovation ecosystems. This transformation was supported by major investments in national capacity building through large-scale skilling initiatives, advanced research infrastructure, startup support, and industry-academia collaboration. Additionally, Centres of Excellence, research hubs, semiconductor laboratories, and emerging technology institutions were established across the country. These initiatives created opportunities for future-ready workforce development across the emerging sectors. Enhanced capability and expanded capacity have further positioned India’s global technological credibility. The country
