India’s digital-economy exposure flagged as U.S. platform shutdown risk looms
On 6 November 2025, industry analysts in India raised concerns that a potential shutdown or regulatory clamp-down on U.S. tech platforms such as Google, Meta Platforms and X Corp could dent India’s estimated US$200 billion digital-services economy. With over 70 % of traffic and ad-revenues tied to U.S. platforms, firms are calling for a “Plan B” infrastructure strategy and domestic alternatives. Observers warn that the deep integration of Indian firms with U.S. platforms heightens geopolitical and regulatory risk for the local digital ecosystem.
