ZTE seeks to cooperate with Indian companies and strive for government recognition of sources.

　　According to foreign media reports, ZTE is seeking cooperation with Indian companies to circumvent the Indian government's informal ban on suppliers in China.

　　The company believes that cooperation with Indian partners will help it obtain the important trusted source certification issued by the Indian government, so that it can provide services to existing customers and obtain new business. According to media reports, ZTE is open to technology transfer in order to solve the Indian government's security and regulatory concerns.

　　It seems that the tough stance of the Indian government has also undergone subtle changes, which may explain ZTE's recent actions and efforts to re-enter the Indian market. Indian information technology minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar recently said: "We are willing to do business with any company anywhere, as long as they invest and operate legally and abide by Indian laws and regulations."

　　Huawei and ZTE were both excluded from the Indian telecom market because the Indian government prevented China suppliers from participating in the country's 5G trial.

　　Before geopolitical factors affected its growth, China suppliers had a strong influence in India. Huawei and ZTE have close cooperative relations with Indian private telecom enterprises and state-owned telecom enterprises. Reliance Jio is the only Indian telecom company that has decided not to use any China equipment in its network. However, when China suppliers were unable to sell their products in India, the Indian government chose to develop and manufacture its own 4G stack.

　　The Indian telecom equipment market is dominated by European manufacturers such as Nokia and Ericsson, and South Korea's Samsung is also entering the Indian market. According to foreign media, the absence of China suppliers has reduced the fierce competition in the Indian market. Although it is not clear whether China suppliers will be allowed to operate in India, it is clear that Indian telecom operators hope that China manufacturers can return to the market.
