India on Global 6G Standard-Setting Table for the First Time: Jyotiraditya Scindia

India’s communications minister announced that the country completed the world’s fastest 5G rollout in just 22 months, achieving 99.9% district coverage and connecting 400 million users. For the first time, India has secured a seat at the global 6G standard‑setting tables of the ITU and 3GPP, backed by the rapidly expanding Bharat 6G Alliance, which now counts over 100 members. The government aims to capture roughly 10% of worldwide 6G patents while forging research corridors with more than 30 nations. Parallelly, a new SIM‑to‑app binding mandate seeks to tighten digital security and curb fraud.
