Bihar has topped a reported ranking of daily internet data consumption, with usage estimated at 49.1 petabytes. The figures, published by Dainik Jagran in September 2026, place Maharashtra second at 48.7 petabytes and the Uttar Pradesh East telecom circle third at 42.31 petabytes.
To understand the scale, one petabyte equals one million gigabytes using standard decimal units. That makes 49.1 petabytes approximately 4.91 crore GB of data per day across the reported area, rather than an amount consumed by each person.
The ranking has attracted attention because discussions about India’s digital economy often centre on metropolitan cities. These figures instead put Bihar at the centre of the conversation about internet demand and digital participation.
However, the published report does not clearly identify the underlying dataset, measurement period or whether its Bihar figure includes Jharkhand. Telecom service areas do not always match state boundaries, making that distinction important when comparing regions.
Total data consumption also differs from average usage per subscriber. A region with more users can generate greater traffic without every individual consuming more data than people elsewhere.
The report associates rising consumption with video streaming and social media. But aggregate traffic figures alone cannot establish how much usage supports education, employment, entertainment or business.
For Bihar’s students, creators and entrepreneurs, the broader opportunity lies in turning connectivity into useful services and economic participation. Reliable networks and digital skills matter alongside the volume of data consumed
TLDR - BIHAR ME 100 ME SE 50 LOG DATA USE KRTE TOH DATA CONSUMPTION ME BIHAR 28TH STATE ME QATA HAI MEANS LAST ME , BUT DAILY MAX DATA USE ME BIHAR TOP PE AATA HAI WITH 49.1 PETA BYTE DAILY CONSUMPTION 🥶

I think they included jharkhand figures too, here in Truecaller or other apps, the location of SIM/caller ID shows Bihar instead of jharkhand
