DPI 2.0 to Focus on Livelihoods, MSMEs and Sectoral Transformation

The roadmap proposes a two-phase approach. The first phase, DPI 2.0 (2025–2035), will prioritise livelihood generation and large-scale economic impact. The second phase, DPI 3.0 (2035–2047), aims to enable broader prosperity.

Under DPI 2.0, the government has identified key sectors, including micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), agriculture, education and healthcare, for targeted transformation. The plan also focuses on strengthening systems such as credit access, energy distribution and welfare delivery.

Officials said the roadmap lays out execution priorities, including district-level implementation, expansion of technology entrepreneurship, and increased use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It also highlights the need for better use of data, digital transactions and skill development to improve outcomes.

Shift from Digital Inclusion to Productivity-Led Growth

The initiative marks a shift in India’s digital strategy, from enabling access to driving productivity and income growth. Policymakers noted that earlier digital infrastructure phases focused on identity, payments and service delivery, while the next phase will extend these systems to economic activities.

The roadmap emphasises interoperability, trusted data flows and scalable platforms to ensure wider adoption across citizens and businesses. It also underlines the role of AI and open digital systems in improving efficiency across sectors.

Officials said the focus will now be on implementation at the district level. This will ensure that digital infrastructure translates into measurable economic gains.

The broader objective is to support India’s transition towards a “Viksit Bharat” by 2047 through sustained productivity growth.
