Weeks after India launches its 5G services, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that India has launched its indigenously developed 5G infrastructure and it can be provided to other countries as well.
During an interaction with students at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, the minister said the story of India’s 5G is yet to reach the public. The 5G that we've launched in our country is completely standalone.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said that some of the parts in the 5G technology could be from South Korea but not from anybody else. She added that the technology is indigenous and that India is ready to share it with countries who want it.
The 5G services were recently launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in select Indian cities and are likely to cover the entire nation by 2024, she said.
