India’s Expectations in Science and Technology for 2025
The year 2024 was a landmark period for India in science and technology, with achievements spanning diverse fields such as space exploration, renewable energy, healthcare, and artificial intelligence. These accomplishments not only showcased India’s technical prowess but also underscored its commitment to addressing global challenges through innovation.
As India strides confidently into 2025, the nation’s aspirations in science and technology are defined by its growing ambition to lead the world in innovation, sustainability, and equitable growth. With a population exceeding 1.4 billion and a burgeoning economy, India’s scientific and technological expectations are intertwined with its developmental goals and global responsibilities.
Driving Self-Reliance through Innovation
India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ (self-reliant India) initiative has set the tone for technological self-sufficiency. By 2025, the country expects significant progress in sectors like advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, and robotics. These technologies are poised to reduce dependence on imports, boost local industries, and position India as a global manufacturing hub.
Government-led initiatives such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) schemes and investments in start-ups are catalyzing this transformation. By fostering innovation ecosystems and nurturing homegrown talent, India hopes to emerge as a technology exporter rather than a consumer.
Digital India: Bridging the Divide
The ‘Digital India’ campaign continues to shape the nation’s future, aiming to bridge the digital divide by ensuring internet access and digital literacy for all. Expectations for 2025 include universal 5G penetration and foundational work for 6G deployment, enabling smart cities, precision agriculture, and enhanced healthcare delivery.
Moreover, digital platforms in education, telemedicine, and governance are expected to mature, leveraging AI and big data analytics to provide personalized services. Cybersecurity and data privacy, however, will require parallel advancements to safeguard citizens and institutions. The National Mission on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an initiative led by the Government of India to leverage the transformative potential of AI for economic and social development. Spearheaded by the NITI Aayog, the mission focuses on adopting and advancing AI technologies across various sectors like healthcare, education, agriculture, smart cities and infrastructure, including smart mobility and transportation.
Sustainability through Green Technology
India’s commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070 underscores its emphasis on green technology. By 2025, the country aims to make significant strides in renewable energy, particularly solar and wind, alongside advancements in energy storage technologies like lithium-ion and sodium-ion batteries. The National Green Hydrogen Mission represents India’s ambition to emerge as a global leader in the production and export of green hydrogen. Initiated by the Union Cabinet on January 4, 2022, this mission aims to achieve a targeted production capacity of 5 million tonnes per annum of Green Hydrogen by 2030.
The transition to electric vehicles (EVs) is another key expectation, supported by policies promoting EV manufacturing, battery recycling, and charging infrastructure development. Additionally, research into sustainable agriculture, bioenergy, and waste-to-energy technologies is anticipated to address environmental challenges while ensuring food and energy security.
