U.S., Japan, and South Korea Collaborate to Boost Digital Infrastructure in India

The United States, Japan, and South Korea have introduced the Digital Infrastructure Growth Initiative for India to enhance India’s digital infrastructure in collaboration with the Indian private sector. This framework, announced by the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation, and the Export-Import Bank of Korea, will support projects across India in critical areas like 5G, Open RAN, telecom towers, data centers, and emerging technologies such as AI and quantum computing. Through DiGi, these institutions aim to streamline financing for strategic digital projects, advancing the information and communications technology sector in India.

The DiGi Framework also aligns with the strategic goals of the US-Japan-Republic of Korea trilateral summit to foster cooperation and sustainable development in the Indo-Pacific. The initiative not only provides funding but also facilitates policy dialogues with the Indian government to encourage private sector investments in India’s digital infrastructure. Leaders from DFC, JBIC, and Korea Eximbank expressed confidence that this partnership will promote high-quality, resilient digital networks and address India's growing demand for robust digital infrastructure.
