India’s telecom sector is moving beyond adding coverage and capacity to confront a challenge: Domestic technology ownership.

The report highlights how artificial intelligence (AI) and telecom infrastructure are converging into a single ecosystem. It outlines a roadmap for India to advance across the “Telecom Intelligence Stack” — moving from an assembly hub into high-margin design, semiconductor manufacturing, radio access systems, and intellectual property.
