Key Findings

India’s DPI foundational stack has been built on 3 core guiding principles- they have open APIs, are interoperable and based on consent, and consist of 3 layers based on identity, payments and data which have facilitated the development of necessary government services & platforms. Private players have also participated by building business models using some of these DPIs. The foundation of DPIs is based on the underlying principle of trust on the infrastructure and stakeholders.

To analyze the impact of DPIs on India’s economy, Arthur D Little has designed a ‘Maturity Framework’ built on components such as – Recency, Indirect benefits, Direct benefits in transaction value and volume, Total Addressable Market (TAM), and reach of each DPI as a % of TAM. When evaluated methodically, there is a clear clustering of ‘matured digital entities’ with successful mass adoption and larger economic impact & ‘budding digital entities’ with successful proofs of concept and ready for mass adoption.

Matured digital entities (Aadhaar, UPI & FASTag) are estimated to have enabled value creation to the tune of ~0.9% to India’s GDP in 2022. Apart from economic value add, DPIs also contribute to financial benefits, ecological benefits and process efficiencies and convenience for the citizens.

UPI & Aadhaar are being adopted by other countries globally to solve similar social & economic challenges. Presently, over 30 countries are either adopting or in early discussions to implement UPI, Aadhar, and Beckn in their respective countries for boosting social & financial inclusion.

By 2030, economic value add from DPIs has the potential to increase ~3X- from current 0.9% to 2.9-4.2%, driven by evolution of existing digital entities to deliver superior user experience, utilizing new age tech of AI, Web 3, and others and enhanced impact of budding DPIs such as ABDM and ONDC.
