Rajeev Chandrasekhar, Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology, stated that the government is committed to boosting domestic manufacturing to make India more robust to supply chain disruptions in order to meet the aim of $300 billion in electronic production by 2026. He added that it is very timely and will assist the government in determining the obstacles to be addressed and the approaches to take in order to meet this goal. He stated that the goal of the government is to become a reliable and trusted partner in global value chains. According to the minister, India has been successful in methodically constructing a structure and plan that clearly define the objectives of a $300 billion electronics manufacturing ecosystem with $120 billion in exports by 2026. He claimed that this report’s description of the government’s strategy for the upcoming years is both very significant and fascinating. Chandrasekhar went on to say that the analysis implies that in order for India to compete in the electronics manufacturing industry, it will need to export aggressively.

Government to fund BSNL, ITI pilot project to develop 4G, 5G, and e-band technologies

In order to develop state-owned technology for 4G, 5G, and E-band spectrum services, the government will fund a pilot project involving startups and state-owned firms BSNL and ITI, according to an official statement. The initiative would also involve the government’s telecom research organisation C-DoT, which in partnership with TCS-Tejas Networks was instrumental in creating the first 4G and 5G telecom network technology to be made in India. In an official statement, it was stated that the “Department of Telecommunications (USOF), Ministry of Communications, had signed an agreement with Indian Telephone Industries (ITI) Limited and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to fund the pilot projects of E-band, LTE indigenous technologies, including integration of 4G/5G prototypes with C-DoT core.” Four pilot projects, each costing about Rs. 10 crores, are being funded by the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF) as part of its effort to introduce new technological developments in the telecom sector in rural and remote areas. These initiatives would be carried out by the indigenous companies Astrome Technologies, Lekha Wireless Solutions, Resonous Technologies, and Signaltron in collaboration with the C-DoT and DoT public sector organisations BSNL and ITI, according to the statement.
