Department of Telecommunications (DoT) has launched an initiative to support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) along with Startups in Industry 4.0 transformation. It has called for proposals for “Industry 4.0 Baseline Survey among MSMEs” that aligns with the broader vision of fostering digital transformation and preparing industries for the advent of 5G and 6G technologies.

The survey will seek to cover five sectors each in North and Southern parts of India. The Department said that the key recommendations will form the platform for policy interventions to achieve the transformative adoption of Industry 4.0. Organizations and Startups are invited to submit proposals by 11 June to participate in this survey.
