How many optical fiber required  for 504 million active Internet users?

The Indian government envisaged the BharatNet project (initially National Optical Fibre Network) in 2011, with a vision to connect all the 2,50,000 gram panchayats through a high-speed optical network. The Indian government’s Digital India initiative focuses on three core components: the creation of digital infrastructure, delivering services digitally to all and increasing digital literacy. During the 74th Independence Day speech, Prime Minister Modi announced the plan to connect 6 lakh Indian villages in the next 1000 days with optical fibre. Under Bharatnet, more than 1.5 lakh gram panchayats have been connected with various initiatives and technologies and are now focusing on building and deploying solid infrastructure, which requires fibre at the centre of connectivity solutions. https://www.stl.tech/blog/ghar-tak-fibre-not-a-distant-dream-anymore/
