Head, Marketing and Corporate Affairs (CMO), Nokia India
How do you describe india’s efforts toward becoming self-reliant in communications and connectivity equipment and devices?
The Government of India has set out mega plans to establish the country as one of the global manufacturing hubs for telecom equipment. Until a few years back, India was heavily dependent on foreign-made equipment to address the local\ demand for equipment and devices in the absence of a robust ecosystem. However, it has come a long way in the last few years, thanks to the several schemes and measures by the government to reduce the dependency on foreign-made equipment and boost local manufacturing. Atmanirbhar Bharat, the flagship program of the government, has resulted in the building of a strong 4G and 5G ecosystem in the country.
Today, the majority of the equipment for the ongoing nationwide 5G rollout, talking about Nokia in particular, is being manufactured locally. Not just that, we are also exporting 5G equipment to some of the most advanced markets in the world, from our Chennai factory. The structural, procedural and policy reforms are, for sure, playing a very significant role in creating a conducive environment to promote manufacturing and generate growth opportunities for the manufacturers.
What has been the impact of PLi and DLi initiatives by the government on the manufacturing of communications and connectivity equipment and devices in india?
