Strategic Collaborations: TEPC’s Working Groups for Export Promotion

Established under the Foreign Trade Policy of the Government of India, TEPC is dedicated to promoting and developing the export of telecom equipment and services. Recognizing the dynamic nature of the telecom industry and the need for specialized focus, TEPC has formed several working groups to address specific export challenges and opportunities.
