1. Create a vibrant manufacturing ecosystem Strengthen IPR, Stds and R&D
BB Manufacturing Committee

2. Enhance the Role of “ Make in India’ to boost the domestic manufacturing ecosystem
Make for India and for the world - Global supply chain with a strong export strategy
Position India Brand as the fiber manufacturing capital of the world given the significant demand and scale capacity and capability
Incentivize design based manufacturing in India to increase value creation in manufacturing.
Encourage component manufacturing ecosystem
Ease of doing business - Lowest operating cost – labor, freight, facilities, electricity, etc.

3. Incentivize and strengthen IPR, R&D and Standards.
Employ globally harmonized standards to exploit economies of scale and make India competitive in the global market.
Incentivize contribution to standards by strengthening standards from India.
Strengthen the IPR regime without seeking any dilution of the SEP regime
Incentivise local R&D.
Remove all barriers for permitting setting up of Global R&D hubs out of India

4. India as Fiber capital
of the world

5. India Demand significant
Data intensive fiber is fundamental to all new technologies and wireless especially with the coming of 5G, IOT, M2M and increased need for low latency and high bandwidth of data.
India potential demand significant
Govt Programs

6. 5G would create strong demand for fibre backhaul
Implications on fibre requirements
5G deployments will require fiber for backhaul: backhaul will constitute 15-30% of 5G deployment costs
Fiber requirements for 5G likely to be 3-5X for same coverage for 4G in the massive MIMO mode
This increased demand for fiber will result in massive (order of magnitude) change in the fiber infrastructure of several countries – US, Western Europe, Japan, Korea to start followed by China, India, Latam, Eastern Europe
Governments will need to play a critical role in providing incentives for enabling the same
Typical LTE cell coverage Typical 5G cell coverage
~550+ Meters ~100 Meters2
5G will require 20-30x the number of cells of a conventional cellular network
1 For typical 2.1 GHz LTE base station in urban area
2 For 5G small cell based on >5GHz+ spectrum in urban area

7. 5G wireless needs fibre, and lots of it
Data consumption is expected to grow along with rapid evolution of technologies, such as 5G
Surge in data traffic propels growth of Optical Fibre
Fibre is the best & most efficient medium to support exponential data demand growth
2x times fiber could be deployed due to the 5G bandwidth and latency requirements
Peak Data Rate -Mbps
4.5x times fiber deployed due
to the shift from 3G to 4G+FTTH

India still remains highly underfiberised, vs global geographies where demand is increasing.
Waiting to potential to happen. Constrainted by policy barriers. Indian fibre is one of the best in the world. Invested is technology and capacity. Grown faster than many global players. In fact Indian companies have invested in glass very critical for fibre. Brought into the country much before the demand emerged. Indian supplier displaced gloal players in their area due to technology strength, agility, capacity, etc etc. fibre ndustry is today a mature ecosystem.
Every geographies protect their base especially the ones creating dominance. They do it through trade barriers. Example we set up a plant
10% of global demand is served by India. ???global demand is around 450 plus.
Indias share to global demand is less that 4%
Policy should now incentivised to increase
of ipotential
Govt focus on PMA with 70% VA is leading India to become the Fiber capital of the world

9. Given the confidence of the industry and a vibrant expansive market, It is at this juncture that a special incentive package should be given to this industry to make India as the fibre manufacturing capital of the world.

10. Incentivize design based and complex manufacturing of fiber
Critical impetus
Incentivize design based and complex manufacturing of fiber
Ensure quality preform is created in the country
Further Strengthen VA percentage to ensure objective
Ensure exim policy supports Fiber capital status.
10% BCD import duties on fiber to ensure vibrant ecosystem from India
Export incentives from 2% to 5%.
Encourage investment in Standards, IPR and R&D .
