Nice.

All fiber to the home service providers here (Jio, Tataplay fiber, Airtel etc) support IPv6 "out of the box".

Even the state-run broadband ISP goes as far as to offer DHCP prefix delegation: You can get a globally routable address for all your devices.

What's the historical reason for good IPv6 support in India? They never managed to participate IPv4 address land grab?

This is required by law. [0][1] Every ISP is required to be fully ipv6-enabled by the end of this year. The deadline has been pushed back multiple times , most recently due to covid. But this time it seems its going to stick. All lagging ISPs seem to have deployed v6 at this time.

There has been a "National IPV6 Plan" in place since 2010, and full coverage has been pushed under that plan in stages. Anyone interested can read all about it in (extensive) detail[2].

My mobile service provider Jio does have IPv6 but my brodband service provider Hathway does not have IPv6.

In a word: yes. They have less than one address per one hundred people: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_IPv4_ad...
