Bharat 6G MISSION

Bharat 6G MISSION

India's Bharat 6G mission is an ambitious initiative aimed at making the country a leader in developing and deploying 6G technology by 2030. The vision document was prepared by TIG-6G (Technology Innovation Group on 6G) – constituted by DoT (Department of Telecommunications) in 2021

The mission will be deployed in 2 Phases:

1. Phase 1 (2023-2025): Ideation Phase

a. Understand inherent potential and risk associated

b. Test of Proof-of-Concept Implementation

2. Phase 2 (2025-2030): Conceptualisation and Delivering

Key Focus on New Technologies:

1. Terahertz Communication

2. Radio Interfaces

3. Tactile Internet

4. Artificial Intelligence 

Challenges:

1. High Spectrum Cost

2. Managing Spectrum amid a new space race: Growing number of satellites (need to inform ITU – International Telecommunication Union)

3. Inadequate Availability: Too much spectrum is occupied by MoD (Defense Ministry)

4. Policy Uncertainty: Foreing Investors might be reluctant due to delay in policy

5. Inefficient Usage: Few spectrums for commercial use compared to USA and EU

Conclusion:

Conclusion 1:

While 6G technology is yet to be commercially available, India's visionary 6G document positions the country to become a global leader in supplying advanced, affordable telecom solutions that benefit the world

Conclusion 2:

While commercial availability of 6G technology remains pending, India’s forward-thinking 6G document propels the nation toward global leadership in providing cutting-edge and cost-effective telecom solutions that have a positive impact worldwide
