India’s ambitions to build indigenous telecom network gear stuck in limbo
- India's telecom operators including Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea have been slow to adopt O-RAN technology in India, which would enable them to work with multiple vendors on cellular network equipment instead of relying on just Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung.
- The telecoms reacted prematurely to the technology when it came out, said Professor V Sridhar from the International Institute of Information Technology in Bengaluru. He suggested that telcos are looking for a noticeable material advantage before flocking toward O-RAN.
- O-RAN technology has not yet been proven to have a material advantage over proprietary software.
- In India, the idea of O-RAN had initially excited telcos but its deployment has been hampered by issues of interoperability, security risks, and limited scale and maturity.
- While O-RAN technology in India is not at carrier-grade reliability level yet, experts believe that the technology could become a competitive alternative compared to proprietary architecture by the time 6G is standardized in 2030.
- Prem Singh, Assistant Professor, IIIT Bangalore said that the most important development towards the trend was the government funding of ₹150 crore under the National Mission of Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical System (MMICTS) scheme to develop advanced wireless communication technology.
- Kunal Bajaj, CEO and Co-founder, CloudExtel, India’s leading Network-as-a-service provider, said the limited large-scale deployment of O-RAN is a complex issue in India on a ‘circle’ basis.
- Aside from problems of scale, deployment and market dynamics, O-RAN deployment in India has been made more difficult by issues such as spectrum allocation.
- While Indian telcos are taking their time to adopt O-RAN technology, Chinese firms have been working on O-RAN networks and the Chinese government has also been promoting the O-RAN Alliance, an industry group that promotes open technology to reduce reliance on proprietary suppliers. The US has also been pushing O-RAN and critical of what it sees as an over-reliance by some countries on Chinese technology.
- By 2025, none of the collaborations between Indian telecoms and O-RAN vendors had taken off. Tata Consulting Services (TCS) has partnered with state-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) for O-RAN deployment in India.

- This reduction in investment indicates that the government expects BSNL to demonstrate its viability and effectiveness in the market.
- Experts believe that BSNL has historically underperformed due to its lack of commercial autonomy, and unless the government loosens its control, it will be hard for BSNL to compete with other players.
