Internet users in India are likely to reach up to 550 million in 2018, primarily led by affordable access and improved awareness, a report said. The country's internet user base was around 190 million in 2014. "The full rate and extent of future internet penetration depends on several factors, but we expect the number of internet users to at least double, from 190 million in 2014 to 400 million in 2018. Our most aggressive forecast predicts as many as 550 million users in 2018," Boston Consulting Group said in a report.
