India has taken a remarkable stride towards technological advancement with the recent announcement of the Bharat 6G Alliance (B6GA). The alliance aims to launch next-generation technology in India and establish the country as a global leader in developing 6G standards. It will bring together key stakeholders from the public and private sectors, fostering collaboration and the development of 6G in the country.
The initiative aims to position India as a global leader in the ever-evolving telecom sector and establish the country as a major supplier of telecom hardware and infrastructure equipment. Highlighting the importance of B6GA, the Union Minister of Communications and Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw said that it is a significant step towards making India a global leader in telecommunications.
He further pointed out that the country has already secured over 200 patents in the 6G space, positioning the nation to spearhead the next-generation technology. The government also plans to introduce a new wave of telecom reforms in the coming weeks.
The forthcoming 6G technology will build upon the foundation of 5G and unlock enhanced capabilities, including improved reliability, ultra-low latency, and affordable solutions. The Bharat 6G Alliance serves as a collaborative platform that brings together key stakeholders from the public and private sectors, academia, research institutions, and standards development organisations. It aims to accelerate the development and deployment of 6G technology in India.
