NEW DELHI: The fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) connections in India grew from 0.7 million in 2014 to 4 million in 2020, and it is forecast to reach 10 million by 2025, a report said.

India’s fixed broadband subscriber base grew by 12% on-year to reach 22 million in 2020, driven by a range of factor such as work from home amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, bundled packages with OTT and cellular connectivity benefits, along with government schemes and entry of private players, according to the Mobile Broadband India Traffic Index (MBiT) 2021 report by Finnish telecom gear maker Nokia.
