The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is apparently working on a project that will provide services of public Wi-Fi in cities with a population over 1 million. This is part of the digital initiative and India is likely to be a paid service.

He had introduced earlier Wi-Fi installation in 3 rakes Howrah-New Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express as a pilot project in April 2013 after initially announcing in February 2011.
