Modi's 'third term' will give big capacity boost to rail, telecom: Ashwini Vaishnaw

India Today  

Over the next 12 months, many more semiconductor-manufacturing companies will set up units in India, Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited will turn into a “healthy, robust” telecom player, and the railway system will see massive capacity upgrades in the “third term” of the Narendra Modi government, Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has said. Talking about Modi’s vision for the Indian Railways as well as telecom technology capabilities, Vaishnaw said the prime minister has stressed on an “Atmanirbhar” India. “PM Modi has categorically mandated that in every important technology, we have to be atmanirbhar, be it railways or telecom,” Vaishnaw said during a conversation with India Today Group editorial director Raj Chengappa and deputy editor Anilesh Mahajan. In the coming 12 months, you will see BSNL as a healthy company that has a significantly stabilising influence on the market.” About the possibility of the telecom sector being dominated by only two players in a possible “duopoly”, Vaishnaw said there will be more competition as telecom is now being viewed as “sunrise sector” owing to reforms by the Modi government.
