Telecom regulator Trai on Monday said the issue of whether India needs to take a stand on Huawei is a “larger question” and that it is up to the government to take a call on the matter.
Last week, the Trump administration had placed Huawei and its affiliates on a blacklist, a move that essentially bans the Chinese firm from purchasing parts and components from American companies without the US Government approval.
Replying to a query on whether India needs to take a position on Huawei also, Trai Chairman RS Sharma told reporters, “This is a larger question and the government will have to take a call.”
He did not comment further on the matter.
Meanwhile, Huawei has said it will continue to provide security updates and after-sales services to its existing smartphones and tablets, even as the future road map of products remains uncertain after the cancellation of its Android licence.
