India’s 6G Vision

The event brought together global technology leaders, researchers, and policymakers to align on India’s roadmap to becoming a pioneer in 6G communications technology, the Ministry of Communications said on May 14, 2025. Pemmasani highlighted the country’s transformation from a technology adopter to a standard-setter, and urged all stakeholders to treat Bharat 6G not merely as a technical pursuit, but as a national mission.

“Over 111 research projects have been funded with the sanction amount of Rs 300 crore and India now ranks among the top six nations globally in 6G patent filings. We have a vast amount of talent pool and we have enough time. There is no reason for us not to lead in 6G,” Pemmasani said, according to a PTI report.

“6G will create entirely new industries and revolutionise existing ones, potentially adding USD 1 trillion to India’s economy by 2035. Indigenous 6G development will also ensure that our secure communications are developed within India and secure,” the minister reportedly said.

Transformative Potential Across Sectors

The Minister described 6G as a transformative opportunity that could redefine connectivity for future generations, and outlined its potential to revolutionise sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture, and smart cities.
