Digital infrastructure can add 60-100 bps to GDP growth: CEA Nageswaran

India’s digital public infrastructure (DPI), which includes platforms like Aadhaar, the Unified Payments Interface (UPI), and the account aggregator network, can add around 60-100 basis points (bps) to the country’s potential GDP growth rate, chief economic advisor V Anantha Nageswaran said Tuesday.

“There is lots of justified optimism about India’s digital public infrastructure. The digital infrastructure can help the hitherto excluded sections get a fair shot at accessing national and international markets,” Nageswaran said while presenting the Economic Survey for 2022-23 tabled in Parliament.
