Historic: India rolls out 4G stack nationwide, becomes 5th nation with homegrown feat

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil BSNL’s indigenous 4G stack tomorrow, marking a historic milestone in India’s telecom journey. Communications Minister says, with nearly 98,000 sites ready, the rollout promises seamless nationwide coverage and future-ready upgrades to 5G. Through Digital Bharat Nidhi, around 30,000 villages have been connected under the 4G saturation project. The union minister hailed it as a ‘historic day for India and the world,’ as India joins the global elite in telecom equipment manufacturing. Modi’s 2020 decision to build a domestic 4G stack instead of relying on foreign equipment has now positioned India among the Big Five global leaders.
