Meanwhile, the government has agreed to allow the import of Chinese-made telecom equipment after certification from international security audit firms. This is a temporary measure adopted by the authorities until India’s own dedicated certification centre and test lab is set up. The government has also permitted self-certification of imported telecom equipment by mobile operators against a bank guarantee provided to the Ministry of Communications and IT.
