India Working on Indigenous AI-Powered Telecom Technologies: DoT Official
HighlightsSanjeev K. Bidwai, Member (Technology) of the Department of Telecommunications, emphasized that artificial intelligence will be a foundational technology for future networks, enabling services such as immersive experiences and autonomous operations. India's expanding artificial intelligence startup ecosystem, supported by a conducive policy framework, positions the country as a global leader in the development of AI-native telecommunications networks. Institutions like the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur, in collaboration with the Centre for Development of Telematics, are working on AI frameworks for automated network management, including a real-time 5G testbed compliant with Open Radio Access Network standards. Artificial intelligence will serve as a foundational technology for future networks, with AI-native systems enabling new services like immersive experiences, autonomous operations and integrated sensing, a DoT official has said. Sanjeev K. Bidwai, Member (Technology), Department of Telecommunications , on Wednesday said institutions like C-DoT , IITs and other leading R&D centers are working on indigenous AI-powered telecom technologies , actively contributing to international standards through platforms like ITU-T, ITU-R and 3GPP. "According to ITU-R's vision document M.2160, AI will be a key enabler for future networks, from intelligent radio interface management to cross-domain orchestration and personalised service delivery. " AI native networks will not only manage complexity but will unlock new service frontiers, immersive digital experiences, autonomous systems, integrated sensing and on-demand slicing for multi-tasks. This evolution is not just technological, it is strategic," he said. India is home to one of the world's largest and most dynamic telecom markets, offering a rich and diverse testing ground for AI native solutions, Bidwai said during the 3rd meeting of the ITU-T focus group on AI native for telecommunication networks here. India's expanding AI startup ecosystem, backed by a supportive policy framework in AI, data governance and digital public infrastructure, makes it ready and a true global leader in shaping the future of AI native networks. "IIT Jodhpur, in partnership with the Centre for Development of Telematics (CDOT), is developing AI frameworks for automated network management for detection and diagnostics. "This includes establishing a real-time 5G and beyond testbed compliant with ORAN standards. Further, DOT has signed a letter of intent with ITU to explore AI-driven digital twin technologies for infrastructure planning," Bidwai said. He said DoT is positioning India at the forefront of AI native networking, fostering innovation and contributing to the evaluation of intelligent autonomous telecommunication networks.

C-DOT, Synergy Quantum to develop key tech for drone-based systems
New Delhi: In a major step toward advancing India's capabilities in secure communication, the Centre for Development of Telematics ( C-DOT ) on Monday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Synergy Quantum India to place the country at the forefront of drone-based quantum secure communications. This partnership aims to jointly develop cutting-edge Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, specifically designed for drone-based systems. C-DOT, the premier telecom R&D organisation under the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), and Synergy Quantum, a deep-tech company specialising in quantum technologies , will work together to create QKD systems based on the BB84 protocol using polarisation encoding. The project will target Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 or higher, marking significant progress in the development of quantum-secure communication. The MoU supports the national goal of boosting indigenous innovation under the "Atmanirbhar Bharat" initiative. The collaboration is set to strengthen India's position in emerging telecom technologies, especially in quantum communication -- a key area for future-proofing critical infrastructure and ensuring data security. As part of the agreement, both organisations will collaborate on research, co-develop grant proposals for national and international funding, and publish their findings through scholarly articles and white papers. They will also host symposia, conferences, and training programmes to spread awareness and share knowledge on this vital subject. Speaking at the signing ceremony, Dr Rajkumar Upadhyay, CEO of C-DOT, highlighted the importance of combining public sector R&D strength with private sector agility. "Quantum technologies hold immense promise for next-generation secure communications. This collaboration reflects our shared vision of building indigenous capabilities and contributing to India's role as a global leader in quantum innovation," he said. Echoing the same sentiment, Jay Oberoi, Founder and CEO of Synergy Quantum India, said, "We are excited to partner with C-DOT. This initiative has the potential to place India at the forefront of drone-based quantum secure communications." Together, they aim to build a strong foundation for quantum-safe telecom infrastructure that can be used in defence, emergency services, government communication, and other sensitive sectors.

ITI receives Rs 50 crore from C-DOT as part of Bengaluru land sale agreement
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 2, 2025, 12:17 IST Shares of ITI Limited may remain in focus after the company informed exchanges that it has received a further tranche of ₹50 crore from the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) under a revised land sale agreement involving 22.258 acres of prime land located at Electronic City, Bengaluru. In a regulatory filing dated May 2, 2025, ITI Limited stated that the company had earlier entered into a revised AMRCD (Alternative Mechanism for Resolution of Commercial Disputes) order with C-DOT for the sale of this land for a total consideration of ₹200 crore. The company has now received ₹50 crore as part of this executed sale agreement. The balance amount is expected to be received upon completion of remaining statutory formalities, the company added. The development is seen as a key financial inflow for the government-owned telecom firm, which has been undergoing restructuring and asset monetization efforts to boost its balance sheet.
