India aims to cut critical tech dependencies over 20-25 years, build resilience: Ashwini Vaishnaw

New Delhi [India], October 14 (ANI): India is planning over a 20-25 year horizon to reduce critical technology dependencies and strengthen its ability to withstand global disruptions, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said, emphasising that the country aims to become a trusted partner across global technology supply chains rather than pursue complete self-sufficiency.

Speaking at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, Vaishnaw said India was identifying areas where dependence on other countries could leave its production and economy vulnerable to changing policies and geopolitical tensions.
