PM Modi praised India’s innovation in quantum communication, 6G, and cybersecurity, noting that the Telecom Technology Development Fund has been pivotal in supporting startups. He emphasized the government’s focus on cyber safety and faster telecom expansion under the new Telecommunications Act.
Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia, inaugurating the International 6G Symposium 2025, said India has moved from being a “consumer” to a co-architect of global technology.

At the event, the Bharat 6G Alliance signed MoUs with NASSCOM and the European Space Agency and released four whitepapers on next-gen telecom and 6G frameworks. Over 400 exhibitors are participating in IMC 2025, showcasing India’s innovation across telecom, AI, and semiconductor domains.
