The high-level interaction underscored India’s accelerating progress towards emerging as a global 6G leader by 2030.
Addressing the Council, Scindia congratulated the Alliance for its rapid growth and emphasised that India must now move with confidence toward global leadership.
He outlined four key priorities for the 6G Mission: to continue leapfrogging, to examine the entire value chain end-to-end, to break down complex technological challenges into solvable components, and to set measurable quarterly targets for each Working Group.
Scindia emphasised the importance of close coordination with the Bharat 6G Alliance, regular progress reviews, and independent evaluations to ensure that the benefits of 6G reach every citizen across the country, including rural communities, as envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Union Minister also noted that with strong collaboration among industry, entrepreneurs, and academia, India is confidently advancing towards becoming a global leader in 6G intellectual property and standards. India is determined to shape the future of telecom technologies, rather than simply follow global trends, he said.
MoS Pemmasani highlighted the B6GA’s release of eight technical reports and whitepapers covering spectrum, AI-native networks, green telecom, emerging applications, and RF sensing. “These achievements signify India’s historic transition from a technology implementer to a technology creator,” he noted.
In a post on X, Scindia said, “Bharat is gearing up for the next telecom leap…

“With all stakeholders including industry, entrepreneurs and academia, collaborating effectively towards this shared vision, we are forging ahead confidently toward becoming a major force in global 6G IP and standards.
