NEW DELHI: In a move that will restrict the business of top Chinese vendors such as Huawei<\/a> and ZTE<\/a> in India’s 4G telecom expansion and the upcoming 5G, the government on Wednesday took decisive steps towards securing the mobile eco-system by making amendments to the license rules, mandating that post-June 15, the equipment can be procured only from ‘trusted’ sources that have been approved by a Designated Authority. 同时,政府是不满意一些印度移动电信运营商继续源电信网络设备从中国企业尽管两国日益紧张,面对电信部门的明确指示要放慢速度在业务和协作与邻近的国家,官员们说。 新德里:此举将限制中国高层的业务供应商等华为和中兴通讯在印度的4 g电信扩张和即将到来的5 g,政府周三采取果断措施对确保移动生态系统通过修改许可规则,要求6月份之后15日设备只能获得信任的来源,通过指定的权威。
The move comes amidst growing concerns in the government over “meddling by Chinese elements” into India’s critical infrastructure.
“The current amendments have been necessitated by the need to secure the vital and burgeoning Indian telecom space from untrusted vendors and unwanted elements,” top officials told TOI, requesting anonymity.

Also, the government is said to be unhappy with some Indian mobile telecom operators who continued to source telecom network gear from Chinese companies despite the growing tensions between the two countries and in the face of clear indication from the telecom department to go slow on business and collaborations with the neighbouring nation, the officials added.
The amendment issued by the Department of Telecom<\/a> (DoT) on Wednesday said, “With effect from June 15, the licensee (telecom companies) shall only connect ‘trusted products’ in its network and also seek permission from the Designated Authority for upgradation of existing network utilising the telecom equipment not designated as trusted sources.”
In December, the government had said that it would prepare a list of “trusted sources”, a move aimed at countering the rising threat of Chinese equipment, after the cabinet committee on security approved the National Security Directive for telecom.
As part of the policy<\/a>, the National Cyber Security Coordinator will act as the Designated Authority and also notify a list of sources from whom “no procurement” can be done.
The notification regarding the amendment said, “The government through the Designated Authority will have the right to impose conditions for procurement of telecommunication equipment on grounds of defence of India, or matters directly or indirectly related to thereto, for national security.”
Amendment won’t hit ongoing contracts<\/strong>
The Designated Authority will soon be notifying the categories of equipment for which the security requirement related to trusted sources are applicable. Also, it would notify the associated telecommunication equipment or the so-called ‘trusted products’ that can be deployed. All the telecom companies are mandated to provide any type of information that would be sought on the matter.
The amendment, however, said that the changes would not impact ongoing annual maintenance contracts or updates to existing equipment already inducted in the network.
The move will effectively keep the Chinese vendors out of the 4G expansion space following the purchase of spectrum worth nearly Rs 78,000 crore by telecom companies. Also, if branded untrusted, the Chinese makers will be out of the lucrative 5G space where auctions may be held in fiscal 2021-22, and network gear deployment thereafter.
“It is a very timely decision that has come at a very opportune time when our telecom sector is facing threats of cyber attacks, particularly from our neighbouring country. This step will boost our national security and make our telecom and IT networks more robust and safe,” local body Telecom Export Promotion Council (TEPC<\/a>) chairman Sandeep Aggarwal<\/a> said.
Tony Verghese, Partner at law firm J Sagar Associates, said the amendment comes in as an “expected move” in light of the 5G auctions. “The curbs imposed by Press Note 3 on FDI<\/a>, is prompting policy changes in various sectors. The recent incidents allegedly by Chinese hackers, has definitely hastened the process with the government inclined towards a new national strategy to strengthen the country’s security,” Varghese said.

从中国政府寻求防火墙电信基础设施的威胁
目前在在政府日益关注“中国元素”干预到印度的关键基础设施。
“目前的修改需要的需要安全的重要和新兴的印度电信空间来自不受信任的供应商和不必要的元素,“高级官员告诉本报,要求匿名。
同时,政府是不满意一些印度移动电信运营商继续源电信网络设备从中国企业尽管两国日益紧张,面对电信部门的明确指示要放慢速度在业务和协作与邻近的国家,官员们说。
发布的修正案电信部门(点)周三说,“由6月15日被许可人(电信公司)只在其网络连接的可信赖的产品和寻求指定的许可权限升级现有网络利用电信设备不指定为可信来源。”
去年12月,政府已表示,它将准备一份“可信来源”,此举旨在对抗不断上升的中国威胁设备安全内阁委员会批准后电信的国家安全指令。
的一部分政策,国家网络安全协调员将作为指定的权威也通知来源列表从他“没有采购”可以做到的。
通知有关修正案说,“政府通过指定机关将有权实施条件的电信设备采购的印度的国防,或直接或间接相关事项之国家安全。”
修正案不会撞到正在进行的合同
指定的权威将很快通知的类别的设备安全性要求有关信任的来源是适用的。同时,将通知相关的电信设备或所谓的“可信赖的产品”,可以部署。所有的电信公司都要求提供任何类型的信息,将会寻求。
然而,修正案表示,这些变化不会影响正在进行的年度维护合同或更新现有设备中已经引入网络。
此举将有效地保持中国供应商购买后的4 g扩张空间频谱由电信公司价值近78000卢比。同样,如果品牌不可信,中国制造商将有利可图的5 g的空间,拍卖可能在财政2021 - 22日举行,之后和网络设备部署。
“这是一个非常及时的决定,一个非常合适的时候我们电信业正面临网络攻击的威胁,尤其是来自我们的邻国。这一步将提升我们的国家安全,并使我们的电信和网络更健壮的和安全的,”当地电信出口促进委员会(TEPC)主席Sandeep Aggarwal说。
律师事务所合伙人托尼•Verghese J Sagar Associates说,修正案作为“预期”的5 g拍卖。“新闻注意3所强加的限制外国直接投资各领域,促使政策变化。最近的事件据称是中国黑客,无疑加速了进程与政府倾向于一个新的国家战略,加强国家安全,”Varghese说。
