NEW DELHI: Amid the ongoing border standoff with China, the Centre on Wednesday announced that it will prepare a list of trusted telecom vendors from where one can buy equipment.
The government move effectively means that certain telecom equipment vendors from China may face fresh curbs. The Cabinet Committee on Security has given approval for National Security Directive on Telecommunication Sector. Under this, in order to maintain integrity of supply chain security, the government will declare a list of trusted sources/products for the benefit of telecom service providers, Union telecom minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said.
