Indian cos supplying to Huawei may face US sanctions: Govt

NEW DELHI: Indian entities supplying US-origin technology components to Chinese telecom major Huawei may face penal action under American regulations, telecom and IT minister minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said in Parliament on Wednesday. However, he said, no call on whether to bar the Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer had yet been taken by the government.

“Any Indian company which will act as a supplier of US-origin equipment, software, technology to Huawei and its affiliates in entity list could be subject to penal action/sanction under US regulations,” Prasad said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha. ET was the first to report the same in its June 19 edition.
