Abstract

India's ambitious digital transformation efforts, spearheaded by initiatives like Digital India and Smart Cities Mission, are set to be reshaped by 6G technology. While 6G promises ultra-fast connectivity and economic transformation, it also introduces environmental and public health risks. This study critically evaluates the impact of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation on biodiversity, particularly in the Western Ghats, Sundarbans, and Himalayan regions, and assesses health risks in urban areas. Additionally, it highlights the socioeconomic divide in 6G accessibility and proposes a sustainability framework integrating renewable energy and green policies. The findings provide actionable insights for policymakers, technologists, and environmentalists in India's 6G rollout.
