The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India has found that the BharatNet initiative, aimed at expanding broadband connectivity to rural areas, has underperformed due to poor planning and deficiencies in its rollout process.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Telecom & Connectivity.
