Indian telecom to require local equipment manufacture
John Ribeiro writes in InfoWorld:
India's two large telecommunications services companies, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL), have decided to require their suppliers to manufacture equipment directly in India or through contract manufacturers in the country, the country's minister for information technology and communications, Dayanidhi Maran, announced Wednesday.
The two companies made the decision to ensure quality, timely delivery, and good after-sales service, Maran said at the annual conference of the Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association of India. The government also plans to request that private sector operators in the country adopt a similar purchase policy, Maran said.
BSNL, based in Delhi, is fully government owned, while MTNL, also in Delhi, is majority-owned by the Indian government.
