Description

The Internet of Things (IoT) represents a revolutionary technology, which facilitates the emergence of dynamic network of inter-connected devices that can flawlessly communicate and share information. It also merges various technologies, hardware systems, and software frameworks to form an all-embracive ecosystem, which comprises data, people, devices, and smart communication. In a country like India, which exhibits major regional differences in the degree of technology and IoT adoption, it can easily be considered that the idea of IoT has the enormous potential to transform the urban development process and introduce it into the paradigm of improvability, cost-efficient, and maintenance friendly solutions. The issues of smart cities are central to the development of a country and better life of citizens. In India, use of IoT in smart city projects makes it easier to provide core services to constituents, implement transparent governance strategies, and build sustainable urbanization. With the help of IoT, different systems may correlate effectively which will provide a reliable access to the data and the establishment of new opportunities in the form of innovative digital services that would meet the requirements of city residents. The present research paper explores the centrality of IoT in the development of smart cities in India. It discusses the policy framework of IoT in the country, outlines major drivers of and benefits of IoT-based smart city solutions, analyzes consumer preferences and demographics. With this comprehension, the paper would like to suggest practical insights concerning the use of IoT in creating inclusive and technology-driven cities of India. 2025 IEEE.
