NITI Aayog has launched DPI@2047 for Viksit Bharat, a strategic roadmap that charts the next phase of India’s Digital Public Infrastructure journey as a driver of inclusive, non-linear, and productivity-led growth.
The roadmap was unveiled by Suman Bery, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog and Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, on April 27, 2026.

The roadmap, developed in partnership with EkStep Foundation and Deloitte, sets out a two-phase path for India’s digital transformation: DPI 2.0 (2025–2035) to drive livelihood-led growth at scale, followed by DPI 3.0 (2035–2047) to enable broad-based prosperity. The immediate focus is DPI 2.0.

Under DPI 2.0, the roadmap identifies eight sectoral transformations to address structural bottlenecks across MSMEs, agriculture, education, and health, while strengthening systemic enablers such as credit, decentralised energy, and benefit delivery.
To translate intent into outcomes, it outlines four execution imperatives: district-led demand aggregation, scaling technology entrepreneurship, leveraging AI, and deploying cross-sector unlocks through better data use, digital transactions, stronger human capacity, and the democratisation of AI.
At its core, DPI 2.0 is about extending India’s digital rails beyond identity, payments, and welfare into the engines of livelihoods, productivity, and market access. It reflects a larger shift in how growth will be created in the years ahead: not simply by inventing new technologies, but by building the connective infrastructure that allows innovation to work together, travel faster, and reach more people.
By combining open digital infrastructure with trusted data flows and ecosystem-led innovation, the roadmap creates the conditions for technologies such as AI to diffuse at scale across citizens and small enterprises.
This marks an important evolution in India’s digital journey – from digital inclusion alone to enabling capability, productivity, and opportunity at scale.
The priority now is execution. Grounded in district-level adoption and local realities, and anchored in trust, interoperability, and safeguards, DPI 2.0 offers a practical pathway for technology adoption to drive broad-based growth across India and support the country’s transition to a non-linear, productivity-led growth trajectory towards Viksit Bharat 2047.
Speaking on the occasion, Suman Bery stated that the focus has shifted from GDP to productivity. Higher quality employment, stronger incomes, and better living standards depend on rising productivity. DPI 1.0 has shown that harnessing networks is the secret of where we have reached. This roadmap makes that shift clear. The next phase of India’s development will be shaped by how AI and DPI raise productivity at scale, placing it at the centre of India’s development journey and helping lay the foundation for Viksit Bharat 2047.
