India’s Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharam has confirmed that 5G in India is totally indigenous. Sitharam, in an interaction with students at John Hopkins University, said that 5G hasn’t been imported from anywhere else.
While some parts could have been from countries like Korea, 5G in India is majorly a homegrown product and doesn’t come from somewhere else. During the interaction, Sitharam also claimed that India’s 5G is capable enough to be provided to other countries.
For those who don’t know, 5G was officially introduced in India on October 1 during this year’s Indian Mobile Congress (IMC). Following this, Jio and Airtel announced the rollout of Jio True 5G and Airtel 5G Plus, respectively.
