Local internet service providers (ISPs) in India are in a state of flux as they struggle to compete with the home broadband push by bulge-bracket telcos - Bharti Airtel and Reliance Jio.
The telcos’ latest aggressive moves to grow wireless home connections through fixed wireless access (FWA) - which are cheaper to deploy than fibre – are further pushing the ISPs to the wall as they face erosion of revenue and margins in their fight to keep their ground.

The important part in the article for our members looking for optical fiber expansion:
ISPs though say that FWA disruption is a temporary phenomenon and even telcos may soon start disincentivizing this once 5G mobile usage picks up.
So, as discussed in the past, wired optical fiber broadband will be a thing again for the telcos in the future.
