India joins a US-led effort to shape next-generation 6G networks, alongside the United States and 24 other countries. The development follows meetings held on the sidelines of the G20 Innovation Ministerial, where India’s MoS Commerce Jitin Prasada meets US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
The initiative is presented by different outlets as a coordinated international push to influence how 6G is developed and deployed. Mint describes the group as including the US plus 24 other nations, while another outlet similarly frames it as a US-led coalition with multiple countries working toward 6G standards and network direction. Swarajya also reports India joining a US-led 6G initiative with a total of 26 countries.
Across the sources, the core point remains the same: India participates in a multinational effort aimed at shaping 6G, aligning the move with domestic plans under India’s Bharat 6G Mission. The outlets vary slightly in how they count participating countries, but they converge on the purpose—coordinated input into the next-generation wireless ecosystem and related policy or technical directions.
