Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) is a set of digital systems that support identity, payments, and data exchange at population scale in India. On 27 April 2026, a NITI Aayog report projected that DPI initiatives could contribute 4% to India’s GDP by 2030, compared with nearly 1% at present.
Digital Public Infrastructure
DPI in India includes platforms such as Aadhaar, Jan Dhan bank accounts, and the Unified Payments Interface (UPI). These systems form part of DPI 1.0 and are linked with financial inclusion, digital identity, and digital payments.
Report And Roadmap
The report is titled DPI@2047 for Viksit Bharat-A Strategic Roadmap to Enable Non-linear Inclusive Socio-economic Growth. It places DPI 2.0 as the next phase for the goal of Viksit Bharat, a term used for developed India.
- DPI 2.0 is proposed to advance through decentralised, state-led initiatives.
- The Government of India and NITI Aayog are identified as catalysts in the proposed framework.
- Two-year iterative cycles of collaboration are recommended for sectoral transformation.
- The first year is proposed for pilot implementation in champion states.
- The second year is proposed for scaling adoption across states.
Artificial Intelligence And Productivity
The roadmap includes integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the DPI framework. AI is treated as a productivity lever within digital systems that can expand access to advanced tools and support larger-scale use cases.
Economic Context
Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran stated on 27 April 2026 that successful execution of the DPI 2.0 roadmap would support long-term growth and distributed resilience against external shocks. NITI Aayog is a government think tank under the Government of India.
