Jaitley said the government is upping its budget to Rs 100 billion ($1.4 billion) for this effort, adding that it has already laid 155,000km long optical fibre cable across the country.

The announcement comes days after the Indian government said it will be bringing free internet access to 1,000 villages in the next six months.

The Indian government is not alone in empowering its population of 1.3 billion people with internet access. Technology giants Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have long been working to bring millions, what they also see as potential customers, to the web.

In partnership with state-run RailTel service provider, Google has already launched free Wi-Fi at 100 railway stations in India, and has committed to bringing internet access to 300 more stations in two to three years.

Its global rival Microsoft has been exploring white space, the unused frequencies that could be used to beam internet data to people.

Social juggernaut Facebook too has been hoping to lure India’s untapped population to get online. After India banned Facebook’s Free Basics (formerly known as Internet.org), the American company has been working on Express WiFi, an initiative that is similar to Google’s free Wi-Fi project.

With over 400 million people online, India is already the second largest internet market, only coming short of China.
