In an exclusive interview, the director general at Cellular Operators Association of India says govt has done 'a lot' but the telecom industry requires more financial support to prosper.
Telecom companies reason that OTT players are 'free riding' on their infra, OTTs say 'revenues earned by infra provider should be shared with entity using it in same proportion'.

Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
