India Mobile Congress opens: Jyotiraditya Scindia lays out India’s telecom road map beyond 5G

India’s digital ambitions are expanding far beyond 5G, and the government now aims to secure 10 per cent of global 6G patents, even as the country’s satellite communications sector gears up for exponential growth, Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said at the India Mobile Congress 2025 on October 8 in Delhi.

Scindia underscored how India has moved from being a passive adopter of technology to becoming an active innovator shaping global standards. “The day is not far off when people will say the world depends on India,” he said, urging the industry to “design here, solve here, and scale for everywhere.”
