5G mobile services will start rolling out in India very soon, announced Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Independence Day speech at Red Fort as he rooted for 'Made-in-India' technology to meet challenges of a new India. PM Modi said that it is time to bring reforms in every area. "India's techade is here! With 5G, semiconductor manufacturing and Optical Fiber Cable (OFCs) in villages, we are bringing a revolution through Digital India to the grassroots level," PM Modi said.

He stated that the Digital India Movement along with the production of semiconductors, 5G networks and optical fiber network will bring reforms in three sectors- education, health facilities, and change in common man's lives. He added while speaking at the Red Fort today, "In India, industrial growth will come from the grassroots. Our Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), street vendors and organized sector workers need to be strengthened.”
