India to emerge as manufacturing hub for 6G radio equipment: Nokia
Nokia expects India to become a key global base for making 6G radio equipment, citing a mix of policy support, infrastructure and skilled labor. Company executives point to government schemes and export promotion programs that lower costs and ease market access, along with established industrial zones built around electronics manufacturing.
According to Nokia, India’s electronics ecosystem now offers a steady pipeline of trained workers and backing from strong academic institutions, making it attractive for scaling next-generation telecom gear production. The company frames India less as a low-cost workshop and more as a strategic manufacturing hub in the shift towards 6G networks.
