New Delhi joined the US-led coalition this week to shape next-generation wireless infrastructure and lock Chinese vendors out of future tenders, but this follows a familiar pattern from India's other flagship US-anchored groupings. A parallel US-led grouping that India belongs to, the Quad, touted a $20 billion capital mobilisation target for its 2026 critical minerals framework, yet attached no binding commitments or project timelines to it. Expect this 6G pact to follow the same declaratory-to-dormant arc.
