India’s Telecom Evolution: From Assembly to Innovation

He said, “India is moving from merely assembling products to one recognised for design, development, and innovation. Our focus is to create opportunities for all service providers and exporters by ensuring access to new markets and strengthening the ecosystem of innovation and manufacturing.”

Dr. Pemmasani emphasised the government’s commitment to positioning India as a trusted global technology and telecom partner. He cited landmark initiatives such as the National Digital Communications Policy and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, which are attracting large-scale investments in telecom manufacturing and exports.

A Platform for Global Collaboration

The Minister described Bharat Telecom 2025 as a powerful platform enabling collaboration between global investors, technology providers, and Indian enterprises.

Industry Leaders on India’s Telecom Transformation

Shri Ashok Kumar Jain, Deputy Director General, Department of Telecommunications (DoT), said, “India’s telecom sector is witnessing a significant transformation   evolving from a nation primarily known for device assembly to a hub for design, development, and technology exports.
