Prioritise Nat'l Security Interests: MeitY Secy To Hardware Makers
The Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) secretary, S Krishnan, has urged electronic component manufacturers to prioritize India's security interests from the design phase of their projects. He emphasized the need for designing products with security in mind due to the increased national security risks posed by cyber threats. Krishnan also stressed the importance of a resilient supply chain that can withstand geopolitical issues. These directives are significant considering the global race for semiconductor chips, particularly AI chips, which are in high demand and mostly manufactured in Taiwan.
