India is aiming to secure 10 per cent of the 6G patents in the telecommunications space, as the country has evolved into a digital flag-bearer on the global stage, Union Minister for Telecommunications Jyotiraditya Scindia said on Wednesday.

Speaking during the inaugural session of the India Mobile Congress 2025, Scindia said the country's ambitions extended well beyond ensuring universal coverage of 5G or exploring the various use cases associated with the technology.

"The day is not far when people will say that the world depends on India. I appeal to all of you today, design here, solve here, scale for everywhere. India innovates, and the world transforms," Scindia said.
