Why India imports it. Skyworks, Qorvo, Broadcom, Murata dominate; India has no RF front-end manufacturing.

Why it matters. 5G/6G rollout depends on RF FEM; affects Jio/Airtel network economics.

Can India localise it? Partial - 5-7 year horizon; GaN IP emerging (Agnit).

Where it comes from. USA (65%), Germany (20%), Japan (10%).
