India-made 4G, 5G tech stacks may go global during G20 meet

India's plans to successfully offer its indigenously developed 4G and 5G technology (tech) stacks to the world would be discussed at the upcoming Group of 20 (G20) meetings, said officials on Thursday.

The government is keen on offering the entire range of sophisticated Madein-India 4G and 5G equipment and associated technologies to other nations and showcasing the plan as part of its G20 discussions on the digital economy.

However, they clarified that the plan remains a proposal right now and is dependent on key developments that are yet to firm up.

Built by a consortium, led by the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) under the Department of Telecommunications, along with Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) and Tata Consultancy Services, the stacks have already piqued global interest.

Officials said 13 foreign telecommunication (telecom) companies have raised an enquiry about them.
