India now has 1 billion broadband users, data costs Rs 8 per GB, says Scindia
India has expanded its broadband subscriber base from about 60 million to 1 billion in a decade, Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said.
Scindia said India now offers among the world’s cheapest mobile data, with 1 GB costing around Rs 8.
