International bodies endorse core principles for future 6G networks under New Delhi declaration: MoS Communications

International bodies endorse trusted, secure, and inclusive 6G networks as a global public good under India's New Delhi Declaration from the Bharat 6G Symposium.

"The endorsed principles for 6G networks include being trusted and secure, resilient and reliable, open and interoperable, inclusive and affordable, and sustainable. - Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar"

New Delhi, February 12

The Government of India has reinforced its commitment to shaping the future of global telecommunications through the New Delhi Declaration, adopted at the Bharat 6G Symposium 2025.

Minister of State for Communications and Rural Development, Pemmasani Chandra Sekhar, in a written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha, said that through the joint statement titled the New Delhi Declaration at the Bharat 6G Symposium 2025, the international bodies endorsed the core principles for future 6G networks.

In his reply, Sekhar said, "The endorsed principles for 6G networks include being trusted and secure, resilient and reliable, open and interoperable, inclusive and affordable, and sustainable. The declaration also positions 6G as a global public good, reflecting a collective international vision for next-generation connectivity."

The signatories to the declaration include leading global and regional 6G alliances, research platforms, and industry-led forums such as the Bharat 6G Alliance, 6G Smart Networks and Services Industry Association (6G-IA), ATIS' NextG Alliance, XG Mobile Promotion Forum (XGMF), 6G Forum, 6G Brasil, UK-India Future Networks Initiative (UKIFNI), UK Telecoms Innovation Network (UK TIN), UK Federated Telecoms Hubs, and the 6G Flagship at the University of Oulu.

The nature of cooperation involves strengthening global collaboration on 6G research and innovation, aligning perspectives on global standardisation activities, including 3GPP and ITU, and promoting interoperability and the development of trusted and resilient 6G ecosystems, he said.

It strengthens India's role in global 6G research and standard-setting by enabling international dialogue, deepening participation from Indian startups, MSMEs, academia, and research institutions, and positioning India as a key contributor to the global 6G ecosystem.

As someone working in tech, the emphasis on "open and interoperable" standards is the most important part. Vendor lock-in has been a huge problem. If India can champion truly open standards, it will benefit the entire global ecosystem.

Great initiative, but I hope the government ensures our local startups and MSMEs get real opportunities, not just token mentions. Often, big global players dominate these forums. The proof will be in the implementation.

Positioning 6G as a "global public good" is a visionary step. Technology should bridge divides, not create them. Hope the focus on sustainability is serious - we don't need faster internet at the cost of our environment. 🌱

First, let's get stable 5G coverage across the country, especially on trains and highways! Then we can talk about 6G. These declarations are good, but ground reality is different for the common user.

Seeing the University of Oulu (6G Flagship) and other major global bodies as signatories gives this declaration serious weight. India is no longer just a market; we are at the policy-making table. Jai Hind!
