Jyotiraditya Scindia shares India’s preparedness for 6G technology, says ‘will set up least 10%…’

Government forms Bharat 6G Alliance to bring technology to India

Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia on Wednesday said about the Bharat 6G Alliance: “At the global level, brainstorming is going on on a new technology. Discussions are on on what the outlines of this technology will be and what kind of spectrum will be used.”

How is India preparing for 6G technology?

Speaking to reporters in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, Scindia said, “India has never been represented before in the establishment of this technology. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Bharat 6G Alliance was established in 2023 for 6G. While establishing 6G, we set our goal to create at least 10% of India’s Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and patent. That is, 7 vertical areas: Spectrum, use cases, type of equipment we will produce and green sustainability.” “We created it,” he said. He also said he would review it every 3 months.

On Tuesday, seven ad hoc Working Groups presented their progress and roadmaps at the quarterly review meeting chaired by Jyotiraditya Scindia. “With all stakeholders including industry, entrepreneurs and academia effectively collaborating towards this common vision, we are well on our way to becoming a major force in global 6G intellectual property and standards. India is committed to shaping the next wave of telecommunication technologies rather than following it,” Scindia said on social media platform X.

He said the Bharat 6G Mission remains committed to clear, phased targets that ensure 6G benefits for every citizen. “Bharat is gearing up for its next telecom breakthrough…” he said in his post. Bharat 6G Vision was launched in 2023 and is based on the principles of affordability, sustainability and ubiquity. It aims to position India as a global leader in 6G telecommunications technology by 2030.
