5G could benefit the Indian economy by $455 billion between 2023 and 2040, or more than 0.6 percent of the GDP forecast for 2040.

India government has assigned two carriers of 250 MHz each in the E-band to address the current need to support 5G rollouts. GSMA said this may not be enough in the 5G era given the requirement for high-capacity backhaul to support use cases and increased data traffic.
