India Set to Become Global Telecom Provider: Piyush Goyal

Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, announced India’s readiness to become a key provider of telecom services globally, with Indian companies set to offer high-security, quality technological equipment to emerging economies. Speaking at the World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly and the 8th edition of India Mobile Congress in New Delhi, Goyal expressed confidence in India’s future leadership in international telecom supply chains.

He urged companies to develop solutions that extend telecom services to nations still lacking network connectivity. “India has a crucial role in making technology accessible to the Global South and fulfilling the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) of affordable digital connectivity worldwide,” Goyal stated.

Highlighting India’s achievement of seamless broadband connectivity under the ‘Digital India‘ campaign launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015, Goyal hailed the country’s new status as the ‘Trusted Partner of the World.’ He credited PM Modi’s vision of using technology as a tool for good governance and economic expansion, further driving India’s digital transformation.

The Minister pointed out that India’s digital advancements, such as 5G rollouts, have set the country ahead of many developed nations, making it a global hub for innovation, data analytics, and AI. He also noted India’s readiness to lead the world in 6G development through the National Broadband Mission, ensuring that every part of the country benefits from next-gen technologies.

Goyal paid tribute to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam on his birth anniversary, acknowledging his contributions to technology and his inspiration for India’s youth. He also praised the Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC) for enhancing India’s technological self-reliance.
