NITI Aayog publishes India’s DPI Roadmap to 2047

On April 27, NITI Aayog released the DPI@2047 Roadmap — its long-term plan for India’s “digital public infrastructure” (the umbrella term for things like Aadhaar, UPI, ONDC, DigiLocker).As per NITI Aayog DPI currently adds about 1% to India’s GDP, and could add 4% by 2030 if the next phase is done well. The next phase, called DPI 2.0, is meant to run till 2035 and focus on livelihoods Pilots begin in MSMEs and farming in 2026–27. News Source: The Tribune DPI 1.0 was about digital access could you make a payment, store a document, prove who you are. DPI 2.0 is about whether you can earn, which is a much harder problem especially in India’s diverse landscape. The question here also is whether NITI Aayog is asking how this will actually feel for the people who use it — on a 2G connection, in their own language, on a phone they share — and what happens, in plain words, the day the algorithm quietly says no?
