The event is set to highlight India’s advancements in telecommunications and its growing influence in the global digital landscape.
On Monday, Union Minister for Communications Jyotiraditya M Scindia visited the IMC 2025 venue to oversee final preparations. Demonstrating the government’s commitment to sustainable and efficient connectivity, Scindia travelled to Yashobhoomi and back using the Airport Metro, starting from Shivaji Stadium in New Delhi.
During his visit, he toured the expansive exhibition area, engaged with startups and exhibitors, and held review meetings with senior officials from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), and other partner organisations.
Speaking to the media, Scindia highlighted the event’s scale and global significance, stating, “Telecommunications today are the highway and pathway for technologies such as 5G, AI, ML, IoT, and satellite communications to connect not only India but India with the world.” He described IMC 2025 as a key platform that will “usher in a new paradigm for connectivity,” reflecting Prime Minister Modi’s vision over the past eleven years of fostering a self-reliant, empowered, and innovative India that contributes to global progress.
