Core offering

Bharat 6G Alliance operates as an industry-led collaborative platform coordinating seven specialized working groups across spectrum, device technology, applications, outreach, green sustainability, and use cases. The alliance drives 6G research, standardization, and deployment in India by bringing together telecom operators, equipment manufacturers, academia, research institutions, and standards development organizations. It facilitates international collaboration through MoUs with 13+ global 6G alliances, publishes whitepapers and vision documents, and supports R&D projects including 6G THz testbed, optical communication testbed, and AI-driven network evolution frameworks.

Product overview

Bharat 6G Alliance (B6GA) is an industry-led consortium launched on July 3, 2023, by the Indian Ministry of Communications to facilitate India's Bharat 6G Vision for developing and deploying 6G network technologies. The alliance is not a product company but rather a collaborative platform that brings together public/private companies, academia, research institutions, and standards development organizations to drive 6G research, standardization, and development in India. B6GA focuses on coordinating working groups, producing technical reports and whitepapers, facilitating international collaborations, and supporting indigenous 6G technology development to position India as a global leader in next-generation telecom by 2030.
