“Had a productive meeting with the Advisory Group of telecom service providers. Discussed issues pertaining to quality of services, India’s 6G vision and promoting research and development to take our sector to new heights of development,” the minister tweeted post-meeting.

In subsequent media interviews, Scindia underscored India’s potential to lead in 6G development and deployment, positioning this initiative as a cornerstone of his vision for the future of telecommunications. His commitment extends beyond 5G, aiming to set global standards in 6G technology.
