New Delhi : The government’s IT spending in India is likely to reach $11.6 billion in 2023, an increase of 10.3 per cent from 2022, a report showed on Wednesday. The government will continue to focus on modernising initiatives and their digital efforts for increased productivity, automation and other software-driven transformation, according to an IDC report.

“For example, they are ensuring public-sector institutions in India build mobile-first experiences for their citizens, especially for those who don’t own a smartphone,” the report noted.
