WITH THE 21-DAY public consultation on the draft National Telecom Policy 2025 (NTP-25) drawing to a close, industry body Voice of Indian Communication Technology Enterprises (VOICE) has urged the government to mandate indigenous telecom equipment, including chips, operating system, software across networks, warning that reliance on imports — particularly from "hostile" nations — poses a national security risk.
