India investing in developing capabilities in 5G & 6G tech: PM Modi

India is investing in developing indigenous capabilities in 5G and 6G telecom technologies besides focusing on manufacturing semi-conductors, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.

In a virtual address at the Sydney Dialogue, the prime minister said the “greatest product” of technology today is data and that India has created a robust framework of data protection, privacy and security.

“And, at the same time, we use data as a source of empowerment of people. India has unmatched experience in doing this in a democratic framework with strong guarantees of individual rights,” he said.
