The Telecom Equipment and Services Export Promotion Council (TEPC) has organised the India Telecom - 2021. The virtual event, hosted by the Delhi-based group, and supported by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) and the Department of Commerce, has witnessed the participation from more than 40 companies showcasing their products and solutions.
The telecom council, set up by the Centre, has been promoting domestic products and services worldwide, and has seen a participation of nearly 30 countries during the two-day long event.
Inaugurating the annual event, Sanjay Dhotre, Minister of State for IT, Telecom and HRD said the recently-unveiled Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the telecom sector would enable it to become a part of a supply chain worldwide, and Indian manufacturers have already making significant inroads in multiple countries.
"Telecom industry has witnessed a massive growth and has become an interface of various sectors today," Anita Praveen, additional secretary, Department of Telecommunications (DoT) said.
"The pandemic has accelerated the digitisation of telecom networks. Indian ICT exporters have a lot to offer with cutting-edge technologies and Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)," Rahul Chabbra, Secretary (ER), Ministry of External Affairs said.
"This event will be a catalyst promoting government schemes such as Make in India, Make for the World, Atmanirbhar Bahrat, PLI scheme and Startup India." Kamendra Kumar, director - Telecommunication Consultants of India (TCIL) and vice-chairman of the TEPC said.
