India has banned imports of telecommunication equipment from 26 foreign companies, the Financial Chronicle newspaper reported Thursday, without citing any sources.
As much as 25 of the banned companies are from China and they include Huawei Technologies Co., ZTE Corp. and Lenovo China, the report said. The remaining company is from Israel, it added.
The Indian government has been cautious on allowing foreign companies, especially those from China, to import telecom gear due to fear that they may use spyware in such equipment.
