The proposed Telecom Manufacturing Zone will be developed over nearly 350 acres on a plug-and-play model. Calling the initiative a landmark step for India's telecom manufacturing sector, Scindia said, “The Telecom Manufacturing Zone will provide fresh momentum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, Make in India, Digital India and Viksit Bharat 2047. It will create a world-class ecosystem for telecom manufacturing in the country.” “The establishment of the country's first Telecom Manufacturing Zone in Gwalior will not only boost telecom manufacturing but also attract investments, generate employment and create opportunities for innovation and exports,” Scindia said in a statement. Once operational, the Telecom Manufacturing Zone is expected to emerge as a major telecom manufacturing hub and strengthen India's position in the global telecommunications and electronics manufacturing landscape.
