The Prime Minister also said that India should establish itself as a thought leader, which will be a natural step after adopting and implementing technology.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for India to be self-reliant in hardware and software cybersecurity, stressing that controlling the value chain will ensure the security of the country’s digital infrastructure.
“For cybersecurity, autonomy is critical across the entire manufacturing value chain, whether it’s hardware, software or connectivity. When everything related to the value chain is within our national boundaries, it will help us ensure their security,” Modi said on Friday at the seventh edition of Mobile Congress India.
The Prime Minister’s statement is significant as it comes after India tried to impose restrictions on imports of laptops and computers but later reversed them. However, the reason for this decision is to ensure the security of India’s digital network, as most of these imports come from China.
The Prime Minister also said that India should establish itself as a thought leader, which will be a natural step after adopting and implementing technology.
In a political dig at the opposition, the prime minister compared previous governments to mobile phones used in those days, saying both were always on “suspend mode”.
“We need to remember that we have come a long way… Outdated phones used to freeze, and no matter how many times you swiped the screen, it had no effect. The government at that time was in a similar situation, still in blockade mode,” he said. “In 2014, people left behind such an outdated phone and gave us the opportunity to serve them. The changes are quite obvious,” he added.
Recalling that India is the country with the fastest 5G deployment in the world, with 4 lakh base stations covering about 80% of the population in a year, Mr. Modi said faster Internet speed is not just a matter of quantity and rank. , but also improve the comfort of life.

“…Everyone has a dignified life and the benefits of technology benefit everyone, we work for this and for me this is the greatest social justice,” Mr. Modi speak. He also announced that India will “lead the world” in 6G technology. The Prime Minister also emphasized the increase in electronics manufacturing activities in India, adding that the government is “proud that the world is using phones made in India”.
“Previously we imported phones but today we export. Previously, our presence in the manufacturing sector was almost zero, but today we are the second largest company in the electronics manufacturing sector.
Previously, there was no clear vision for electronics manufacturing. Today, we export electronic products worth Rs 2 lakh crore. Google also recently announced that it will produce Pixel phones in India, Samsung’s Fold5 and iPhone 15 are already manufactured here,” the Prime Minister pointed out.
