Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the 9th edition of the India Mobile Congress (IMC) 2025, Asia’s largest telecom, media, and technology event, on October 8, 2025, at Yashobhoomi, New Delhi. The ceremony took place around 11:30 AM.
After inaugurating the 9th edition of the India Mobile Congress (IMC 2025), Prime Minister Narendra Modi says, "IMC events are no longer limited to just mobile or telecom. In just a few years, this IMC event has become Asia's largest digital technology forum...This success story was written by India's tech-savy mindset. It was led by our youth, India's talented individuals. It was accelerated by our innovators and our startups. This has been possible because today the government stands firmly behind the country's talent and capabilities..."
Commenting on the recent launch of the 'Made in India' 4G Stack, Prime Minister Modi declared it a major indigenous achievement, noting, "India has now joined the exclusive list of just five countries in the world that possess this capability".
Touching upon the spread of 5G in India, PM Modi remarked, "When I first spoke about 'Make in India,' many ridiculed it... In the past, it took a considerable amount of time for new technology to reach India. But the nation has responded. The same country that once struggled with 2G now has 5G connectivity in almost every district".
