India’s Department of Telecommunications introduced major PM-WANI reforms, including QR-based login for laptops, short-duration Wi-Fi plans, and standardised hotspot names. The measures aim to improve affordable public internet access, strengthen digital infrastructure, and enhance user convenience nationwide by July 2026
