Finnish telecommunications equipment maker Nokia has voiced strong support for ongoing policy initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic telecom manufacturing in India. The company emphasised that targeted regulatory frameworks and local production incentives are vital for scaling up infrastructure and building a self-reliant supply chain. India has emerged as a key growth market for telecom equipment as operators aggressively expand 5G coverage and lay the groundwork for upcoming technology cycles. Nokia's backing aligns with government efforts to position the country as a global hub for electronics and telecom hardware exports. Industry stakeholders anticipate that sustained policy backing will attract further foreign investment and spur local research and development partnerships.
