According to the written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha by minister of state (MoS) for Communications and Rural Development, the government has released the Bharat 6G Vision document, which outlines the roadmap for research, development, and deployment of 6G in India including identification of the spectrum for 6G. The spectrum roadmap for 6G services has also been published, providing visibility on spectrum availability, quantum and timelines across various radio frequency (RF) bands over the next 10 years distributed between short term (2025-2026), medium term (2027-2030) and long term (2031-2035) to enable advanced 6G applications.
Studies on 6G are being undertaken at international forums such as the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). International Telecommunication Union Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) has issued ITU-R M.2160-0, which outlines the framework and usage scenarios for IMT-2030 (6G). In addition, ITU-R report M.2376-0 and ITU-R report M.2541-0 provide insights on spectrum feasibility, propagation characteristics, antenna techniques, deployment architectures, and other technology enablers for future IMT systems.
The Telecom Technology Development Fund scheme of Department of Telecommunications supports indigenous telecom research and development (R&D). As on February 2026, 104 projects amounting Rs 2.71 billion approved for R&D of 6G technology. These initiatives provide financial and institutional support for research, testbeds, innovation and commercialisation of emerging telecom technologies including 6G.
