New chip units to be key cog in India's 6G localisation strategy

India is leveraging new semiconductor plants in Assam and Gujarat to produce 6G network hardware domestically. This initiative aims to reduce reliance on imports, bolster national security, and drive the 'Make in India' program. The government is encouraging collaborations across industry and academia to develop a complete 6G product chain, from materials to finished goods, anticipating 6G's arrival by 2030.
