“We are asking the government to implement the preferential rules in the USOF-driven BharatNet-II program being undertaken by states and Smart City projects where states have formed Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) under the General Financial Rules (GFR),” former telecom secretary and Tepc<\/a> chairman Shyamal Ghosh<\/a> told ETT.
Many states are in the process to deploy BharatNet-II that aims to provide optic-fibre based network to gram panchayats or village blocks for providing high-speed Internet services for the delivery of citizen-centric services.
The initiative is 100% government-funded led by USOF, a Rs 50,000 crore strong reserve meant for providing telecom connectivity in India’s rural and remote regions.

Delhi-based Tepc or the Telecom Exports Promotion Council represents domestic players such as Tejas Networks, Sterlite<\/a> Technologies, Vihaan Networks Limited (VNL<\/a>) and Himachal Futuristic Communications Limited (HFCL).
In June 2017, the Department of Industrial Policy<\/a> and Promotion (DIPP) had notified the Public Procurement Order that provides access and preference to local firms which have done value addition to a certain level.
The norms mandate 20% price preference to domestic companies over multinationals bidding for government-funded initiatives, and that requires a selected firm to match the price of the lowest bidder in case of a foreign player.
Tepc added that the local companies were not signatories to the procurement agreement of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and have asked the government to give preference to local manufacturers in every state-funded project.
The Centre’s preferential guideline, according to the group, has changed the narrative and domestic players would start deriving benefit out of it.
The government, according to Ghosh, has though formed sectoral committees for complaints redressal on preferential procurement by various government departments and agencies and the council has recently taken up issues with DIPP on violations.
The current export and import ratio is 10:90, with homegrown companies undertaking Rs 25,000 crore worth of annual business from overseas, which is growing incrementally, but not in a manner that it should have attained despite Centre’s progressive policies.
\n \n \n \nWe'll imbibe the success of mobiles and electronics manufacturing under the Make in India program, and stand committed to promoting local equipment manufacturingRavi Shankar Prasad, Telecom, IT & Law Minister<\/cite><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
“The telecom policies – beginning from 1994 to this day with the recent National Digital Communications Policy— 2018 have had certain provisions for domestic manufacturing by encouraging Research & Development (R&D) and setting up of funds, but somehow, it is not taking place,” he said.
However, Ravi Shankar Prasad<\/a>, soon after taking charge as the new telecom minister said that he would imbibe the success of mobiles and electronics manufacturing under the Make in India program, and the department under his second term would stand committed to promoting local equipment manufacturing.
In August 2018, Ram Sewak Sharma-headed Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) has put forth its views on promoting local telecom equipment manufacturing which it felt was of economic as well as strategic significance, but it is yet to be accepted by the department.
In terms of value and volume, the domestic players have a minuscule pie for equipment being deployed which is near 5% in India. In contrast, according to Tepc, multinational vendors have an advantage as they get long-term financing and turn capital expenditure (capex) into operating expense (opex).
Due to the non-tariff barrier in China, India’s domestic firms could not supply products in the largest market, while the exports group, according to Ghosh, has taken up this issue with the Ministry of Commerce, to use the diplomatic channel to address the existing bottleneck.
The products were notified way back under the Information Technology Agreement or ITA- 1996, but multinationals, according to Tepc, continue to expand their products inventory for import, taking the liberty of the ‘others’ category which was nothing but manipulation.
“We have taken up this to the notice of authorities and they are now responding positively,” Ghosh added.
\n \n \n \nWe have taken up the issue (Northeast connectivity) with the DoT. We have been saying that for 4G, there must be 2G. Indian satellites have not many transponders, and taking bandwidth from international satellites or gear from multinationals would have a serious security implicationTepc<\/cite><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Tepc has also taken up the issue of state-controlled Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL<\/a>)-led ambitious connectivity program in uncovered villages of Northeast— particularly Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, which has been a nonstarter so far.
“We have taken up the issue (Northeast connectivity) with the DoT<\/a>. We have been saying that for 4G, there must be 2G. Indian satellites have not many transponders, and taking bandwidth from international satellites or gear from multinationals would have a serious security implication in border areas,” he said.
In some regions of China-bordering Arunachal Pradesh and Assam, people have been so far deprived of mobile telephony services.
“We are reinstating that in the absence of backhaul in many areas, particularly in difficult terrain, 4G would not be possible,” Ghosh said, adding that the matter is under consideration with the department, and the group was expecting a positive response from the government soon.
Meanwhile, BSNL, in a letter last month said that it could deploy 4G-ready infrastructure in the Northeast that could further facilitate next-generation of telephony services once much-needed mobile backhaul is provided.
Ghosh also feels that the fifth-generation or 5G technology development would be challenging for the country as only the US and China have leapfrogged, with security being a larger issue.
China’s 5G, he said, has an advantage over other nations since it offers end-to-end solutions, but added that local companies have also a potential to participate in field trials in a limited manner.
The Narendra Modi-led government aims to commercially deploy 5G services in India by 2020 with pilot launches starting within the next three months.

“我们要求政府实施优惠规则USOF-driven BharatNet-II程序是由州和智能城市项目,国家已经形成了特殊目的载体(SPV)的通用金融规则(GFR),”前电信部长Tepc主席Shyamal Ghosh告诉ETT。
许多州正在部署BharatNet-II旨在提供光纤技术基础网络克panchayats或村块提供高速互联网服务的交付以公众服务。
USOF为首的政府资助的计划是100%,50000卢比强大的储备意味着提供电信连接在印度农村和偏远地区。

Tepc补充道,当地公司没有签署采购协议的世界贸易组织(WTO),并要求政府优先本土制造商在每一个国家资助的项目。
该中心的优惠方针,根据集团改变了叙事和国内球员将开始产生效益。
Ghosh说,政府虽然形成部门投诉委员会调整优惠采购由不同的政府部门和机构和委员会最近问题与DIPP侵犯。
当前进出口比率10:90,与本土企业进行价值25000卢比的年度业务来自海外,这是逐步增长,但不是它应该的方式达到尽管中心的进步政策。

“电信政策——从1994年开始到今天最近国家数字通信政策- 2018已经有了国内制造业的某些规定,鼓励研发(R&D)和设立基金,但不知何故,这不是发生,”他说。
然而,Ravi Shankar普拉萨德不久,负责新电信部长说他将吸收手机和电子制造业的成功使项目在印度,和在他的第二个任期将致力于推动本地设备制造。
2018年8月,Ram Sewak Sharma-headed印度电信管理局(火车)提出意见促进当地电信设备制造业,感觉的经济和战略意义,但它尚未接受的部门。
在数量和金额方面,国内球员有一个极小的饼设备被部署在印度近5%。相比之下,据Tepc,跨国供应商有优势,因为他们获得长期融资和资本支出(资本支出)变成营业费用(opex)。
由于非关税壁垒在中国,印度的国内企业不能供应产品的最大市场,而出口集团根据Ghosh,采取了与商务部这个问题,使用外交渠道来解决现有的瓶颈。
信息技术下的产品通知返回协议或ITA - 1996,但跨国公司,根据Tepc,继续扩大他们的产品库存进口,冒昧的“其他”类别的操作。
“我们已经采取了当局的注意,他们现在正在积极应对,”戈什补充道。

在一些地区China-bordering阿鲁纳恰尔邦和阿萨姆邦,人们一直到目前为止没有移动电话服务。
“我们恢复,没有回程在许多地区,特别是在困难的地形,4 g不可能,”Ghosh说,并补充说,在考虑与部门和集团预计政府的积极回应。
同时,BSNL,上个月的一封信中说,它可以部署4 g功能的基础设施在东北,可能会进一步促进下一代提供急需的移动回程的电话服务一次。
