5G technology in India, completely indigenous says, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that the 5G technology in India is completely indigenous, one that is not imported from somewhere else and is the country's own product. "The story is yet to reach the public. The 5G which we have launched in our country is completely indigenous, standalone. There could be some critical parts coming from countries like Korea, but certainly not from somebody else...," Sitharaman said at the John Hopkins University event in Washington.

She said India can now provide 5G technology to other countries that want it. "Our 5G is not imported from somewhere else and it's our own product. The spread of this is very rapid."

Sitharaman said the private companies that have made this product have said by 2024 end most of the country will be able to avail of this technology. "On 5G we can be immensely proud of India's achievement."

The company said it would push software upgrades to recent models, including the iPhone 14, iPhone 13, iPhone 12 and iPhone SE, which, industry sources say, do not support the network currently.
