The Union government is fully committed to its ambition in becoming a global player in 6G, and will support the space by creating a conducive environment for startups and enterprises to thrive in the 6G space, Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said on September 26.

“The government is keen on ensuring that India plays a pivotal role in the global 6G landscape by developing world-class technologies, testbeds, and partnerships. We are confident that with this collaborative approach, India can emerge as a leading player in 6G,” Scindia said at a high-level interaction in Bengaluru with Bharat 6G Alliance (B6GA).

Scindia emphasized the importance of making 6G a transformative force for social and economic development, particularly in rural and underserved areas, ensuring that India's growth is inclusive, according to a government statement.

The Bharat 6G Vision, launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is aN initiative to make India a global leader in telecommunications by 2030.

The Bharat 6G Alliance (B6GA) is a collaborative effort involving Indian industry, academia, national research institutions, and standards organizations.
