<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: Vodafone Idea<\/a> and Bharti Airtel<\/a> are getting increasingly jittery about sourcing equipment from Huawei<\/a> as the US tightens restrictions on the Chinese vendor, which may over time even impact the gear maker’s supplies in India.

The two telcos, though, have enough supplies to last another six-to-nine months for their respective networks in India, even if supplies from Huawei dry up.

“It is certainly a worrying situation. In telecom gear, there are thousands of components and one has to be cautious about what part will be impacted as these times will put telecom gears into difficulties,” a senior Vodafone Idea executive told ET on the condition of anonymity. “We don't know where it will stop as it is just a start”.

The latest flashpoint comes with Taiwanese Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (
TSMC<\/a>), the world’s largest contract semiconductor maker, reportedly stopping taking new orders from Huawei Technologies, to comply with new United States export controls. This could hurt Huawei’s manufacturing and supply of telecom equipment<\/a> globally, including to Indian vendors, given that the Chinese company relies on TSMC from a critical chip for its gear. The US alleges China uses Huawei to snoop on other countries, charges with Beijing and the equipment maker have strongly rejected.

Analysts and market watchers say Huawei can’t really build telecom infrastructure if it can’t use TSMC as a foundry since there are no visible alternatives.

“Everybody in India is aware of and watching the situation. We will have a plan B and C for sure. It won't structurally impact the telco industry as it will surely be carrying out a plan B if the situation arises,” the Vodafone Idea executive said.

Washington recently imposed fresh restrictions on Huawei’s ability to use American technology and included Huawei's India unit and other foreign subsidiaries in its export control entity list.

A Huawei executive, who didn’t wish to be named, downplayed its impact in India. “Neither does the Indian entity exports nor import. So, there’s no impact as such on putting the India subsidiary into US’s export control entity list”.

Randeep Sekhon<\/a>, chief technology officer at Bharti Airtel, told ET that issue was more geopolitical and affects all industries, but that alterative suppliers are available, if needed.

“We will be fully compliant to govt orders and make sure what needs to be done. To be fair, there are enough suppliers in the world and new suppliers are coming in. India should be fine with it,” Sekhon said, terming the episode “a purely government issue.”

Huawei works with Bharti Airtel in three telecom circles and seven telecom circles for Vodafone Idea.

Till now, the Indian government has not taken a decision on allowing Huawei to be involved in the country’s 5G deployments.

Rajan S Mathews, director-general of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) said that there won’t be any immediate impact on Indian telecom networks since everyone plan production and inventory for 6-9 months. “What we always find that these embargos are very leaky. We have seen that. China is a resilient country and they will find out. I will not put the whole fear. China has plenty of time to do and protect what it needs to,” Mathews said.

最新的导火索来自于台湾半导体制造公司(台积电合同),世界上最大的半导体制造商,据报道停止接受新订单从华为技术,符合新的美国出口管制。这可能伤害了华为的制造和供应电信设备在全球范围内,包括印度供应商,考虑到中国公司依赖于台积电从一个关键芯片的装置。美国称中国使用华为窥探其他国家,与北京的费用和设备制造商强烈拒绝。

分析师和市场观察人士说,华为不能建立电信基础设施如果不能使用台积电作为铸造以来没有可见的替代品。

“每个人都在印度很清楚,看情况。我们将有一个计划B和C。它不会电信产业结构影响肯定会执行B计划如果情况出现,“沃达丰高管表示。

华盛顿近日出台了新的限制华为使用美国技术的能力,包括华为印度单位和其他外国子公司的出口控制实体列表。

Randeep Sekhon首席技术官Bharti Airtel告诉等问题是更多的地缘政治和影响所有行业,但这改变的供应商,如果需要的话。

“我们将完全符合政府订单和确定需要做什么。公平地说,世界上有足够的供应商,新供应商。印度应该没事的,”Sekhon说,在“一个纯粹的政府的问题。”

华为与Bharti Airtel在三个电信圈和七个电信圈对沃达丰的想法。

直到现在,印度政府并没有采取决定允许华为参与国家的5 g部署。

Rajan马修斯,印度手机运营商协会(COAI)总干事说,不会有任何直接的影响在印度电信网络,因为每个人都计划生产和库存为6 - 9个月。“我们总是发现这些禁运很漏。我们已经看到。中国是一个有弹性的国家,他们会发现。我不会把整个恐惧。中国有足够的时间来做的,保护它所需要的,”马修斯说。
