Ericsson is set to expand exports of telecom equipment from India to Europe, with the company planning to ship India-made 5G antennas to European markets.
The move highlights the growing role of India in Ericsson’s global manufacturing and supply chain network, supported by the country’s rapid deployment of 5G networks and expanding telecom equipment ecosystem.
Ericsson has been increasing its manufacturing and technology footprint in India as demand for advanced connectivity equipment grows. The company’s local operations are also benefiting from India’s push to strengthen domestic telecom manufacturing and increase exports.
The planned antenna exports reflect the progress made by India’s telecom sector following the rapid rollout of 5G services. India has emerged as one of the world’s largest 5G markets, creating opportunities for local production, technology development and integration into global supply chains.
Ericsson’s India-made products could serve European operators and infrastructure markets as demand for modern network equipment continues to rise. The company is also looking beyond 5G, with research and development efforts focused on technologies that could support the transition toward next-generation 6G networks.
The development is expected to strengthen India’s position as a manufacturing and export hub for advanced telecommunications equipment. It also underlines how the country’s domestic 5G growth is helping Indian operations participate more actively in global technology supply chains.
