New Delhi: The government has decided to set up about half-dozen task forces to provide market support to telecom equipment makers, who are worried about import of network gear from China which is being routed through other neighbouring countries, said communications and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.
The issue came up for discussion in the minister’s meeting in Delhi on Saturday with 40 CEOs of telecom gear makers that have qualified for the Centre’s production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme.
