India to have fair policy on telecom imports soon: Menon.

India today said it will soon come out with an "open and non-discriminatory" policy for importing telecom equipment from any country.

The announcement comes amid concerns of Chinese vendors whose products were put on hold due to security reasons.

"We are in the process of putting in place a new system, which will apply to everybody. It is not China related issue," Prime Minister's special envoy Shivshankar Menon said in his briefing to the Indian media before leaving for home today after four-days of talks with the Chinese leadership here.

Chinese leaders raised the issue of curbs on the use of Chinese telecom equipment in India during talks with Menon.

"Yes, the telecom issue was also mentioned," Menon said.

The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is in the process of holding consultations with various players in the Telecom sector and it would be in place soon, he said.
