India's 5G Technology 'Completely Indigenous', Can Be Exported to Other Nations - Finance Minister
07:58 GMT 14.10.2022 (Updated: 08:05 GMT 14.10.2022) India has pinned high hopes on the “cumulative economic benefits” of the 5G technology unveiled this month. The government has said that “economic benefits” from 5G could reach $450 billion by 2035.
Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has said that the 5G technology unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi this month is “completely indigenous” and ready to be provided to other nations.
“Our 5G is not imported from someone else. It is our own product,” said Sitharaman, who is now on a five-day official visit to the US to attend the annual meetings of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank.
The minister noted that some “critical components” could have been imported from South Korea, but still, the technology had been developed using domestically available expertise.
South Korea, China and the US are currently recognized as the global leaders in 5G technology.
The finance minister also expressed confidence about the “rapid” spreading of 5G, saying that most of the country will be “covered” by the technology by the end of 2024.
