As per the government mandaged law, all the Battery Management Systems supplied under the order will have to be registered on the Trusted Telecom Portal. The government wants all the critical telecom infrastructure in the country to get approved by the Trusted Telecom Portal, so that in under no circumstances, a cyber warfare can't affect India, its power grids, or communication lines.
In line with this, the government, in fact, removed all the Chinese vendors from the network. This order will take some time be executed by the Lineage Power Private Limited. It will happen in a phase wise manner over a period of five months.
