Report Abstract

India Wireless Infrastructure Report 2026: 4G, 5G & 6G RAN Market Analysis & Forecast Through 2031 | eNodeB, gNodeB & aNodeB Base Station Market Sizing

The Definitive Data Source on India's Radio Access Network Market - Built on DoT, TRAI & Confidential Vendor Sales Data

India is one of the world's most strategically important and fastest-growing wireless infrastructure markets. With 5G rollout accelerating across urban and semi-urban geographies, a government-backed push toward indigenous network equipment, and 6G planning already underway, India's RAN market is entering a new phase of investment and competitive intensity. This report delivers the most granular, data-rich analysis of India's wireless infrastructure market available - combining government statistics, operator reporting, and confidential vendor sales data into a single authoritative source with a forecast through 2031.

What This Report Covers

Why India's RAN Market Demands a Dedicated Report

India is not just a large market - it is a structurally unique one. India's 5G rollout has been among the fastest in the world by subscriber uptake, yet the infrastructure investment picture is more nuanced than headline numbers suggest. The government's push for indigenous manufacturing under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has created a domestic vendor ecosystem that is genuinely competing for RAN contracts - a dynamic that no global RAN report covers with adequate depth. At the same time, the competitive dynamics between Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel, BSNL, and Vodafone Idea are shaping vendor market shares in ways that are specific to India and require on-the-ground data to understand accurately.

This report gives operators, vendors, investors, and government stakeholders the precise market data and competitive intelligence they need to navigate India's RAN/Open RAN market with confidence.

Key Takeaways

FY2025 Market Review

• As we anticipated, India’s RAN market declined in 2025
• CSP dynamics decrease RAN sales but boost net subscriber additions
• The focus on 5G densification, FWA and monetization is paying off
• Open RAN is chugging along; its adoption is poised for strong growth
• The vendor leadership board did not budge: Nokia stays #1 followed by Ericsson and Samsung
• Vendor analysis and the “Made in India” mandate

Looking forward: 2026 and beyond

• India’s government plan for 5G expansion, network upgrades and broadband in rural areas
• Then comes 6G! India boasts big international ambitions
• Consequently, we expect the RAN market to stay flattish until 6G kicks in
