India will benefit from the ban on Chinese telecom companies in America, domestic companies will be able to invest in the US.

Rajeev Kumar, New Delhi. Keeping internal security in mind, the US has banned any kind of purchase from China’s telecom equipment and telecom service companies. Companies manufacturing telecom equipment in India are going to get its direct benefit. According to experts, with the increase in telecom exports, telecom companies investing under the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme will get huge orders from the US. Currently, companies like Nokia and Ericsson are active in the field of telecom equipment and technology in India.

India will get benefit of American ban

After the US ban, many other foreign telecom companies will invest in India. Sandeep Aggarwal, chairman of the Telecom and Service Export Promotion Council of India, said that ZTE and Huawei are huge companies and even small companies working for these companies will no longer be able to do business in the US. The emerging small telecom companies in India will get the benefit of this.

A few years back, the US had also imposed sanctions on China in the matter of optical fiber and the Indian company Sterlite got its benefit. Similar will be the case with telecom equipment. A huge market will open up for routers, radio equipment made in India and the already growing telecom exports will get a boost.

Vietnam is also not reliable for America

According to experts, telecom equipment is also made in Vietnam, but Chinese companies are most active there. Not only this, Vietnamese companies are increasingly using China’s telecom technology. Because of this, Vietnam was also no more reliable for America. India has already banned purchases from Chinese companies in the purchase of government telecom service companies two years ago.
