INDIA NEWS | Wed, 14 Jan 2026, 9:02PM IST The Ministry of Electronics and IT has not mandated the sharing of source code, a part of software that controls the functioning of technology devices, IT hardware manufacturers' body MAIT said on Wednesday.It was recently reported that a draft document of the Manufacturers' Association for Information Technology (MAIT) has expressed views against the need for source code sharing by companies with testing labs as per the Indian Telecom Security Assurance Requirements (ITSAR)."MAIT wishes to categorically state that the Office Memorandum issued on June 18, 2025, by the Government of India overrules any prior interpretations suggesting mandatory sharing of source code. We hereby reiterate that MeitY has not mandated source code," the industry body said.MAIT members include Apple, Samsung, OnePlus, HP, Nokia, Dixon, Lenovo, and VVDN, among others.The IT players' body said that the memorandum from the Ministry of Electronics and IT (Meity) provides clear guidance that supersedes earlier drafts or discussions, ensuring alignment with industry best practices and safeguarding intellectual property."MAIT's internal documents are solely for internal deliberation and knowledge-sharing among members. Any suggestion that MAIT has advocated compulsory source code sharing is incorrect and misleading," the statement said.On Sunday, Meity said it has started routine stakeholder consultations on mobile safety and security requirements with stakeholders, and will address legitimate concerns raised by the industry before firming up any framework.The Indian Telecom Security Assurance Requirements also seek the sharing of source code with a testing lab for security testing.However, the government has not yet mandated it.The ministry said that mobile security is a critical aspect as smartphones are increasingly used for financial transactions, delivery of public services, and storage of sensitive personal information, which makes them attractive targets for cybercriminals."Meity has been engaging with industry representatives to better understand the technical challenges, compliance burdens, and international best practices adopted by smartphone manufacturers. The ministry reiterates that all legitimate concerns raised by the industry will be examined with an open mind, in the best interests of both the country and the industry," the statement had said.According to sources, the ministry has also taken over discussions on safety standards in mobile phones and other communication devices from the telecom department to meet requirements under a telecom security assurance norm.ITSAR broadly covers safety standards for telecom network gear, including those related to software updates and the source code of communication devices.Earlier, the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) used to hold consultations with mobile phone companies on safety standards, but now the communications device part has moved to the Meity.The India Cellular and Electronics Association (ICEA), which represents companies like Apple, Vivo, Xiaomi, and Dixon, said the discussion on safety standards has been going on for several years, and multiple discussions on this issue have taken place.

INDIA NEWS | Wed, 14 Jan 2026, 8:32PM IST The U.S. current account deficit narrowed sharply in the third quarter as tariffs weighed on imports and primary income surged.The Commerce Department's Bureau of Economic Analysis said on Wednesday the current account deficit, which measures the flow of goods, services and investments into and out of the country, contracted by $22.8 billion, or 9.2%, to $226.4 billion, the lowest level since the third quarter of 2023.Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the current account deficit shrinking to $238.4 billion. The report was delayed by the 43-day shutdown of the government.The deficit represented 2.9% of gross domestic product, the smallest since the first quarter of 2020 and down from 3.3% in the second quarter. It peaked at 6.3% in the third quarter of 2006. President Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs have led to an ebb in the flow of imports, helping to narrow the trade deficit.Imports of goods decreased $5.0 billion to $815.4 billion in the third quarter, pulled down by a decline in consumer goods. But nonmonetary gold imports increased. Imports of services increased $3.1 billion to $225.0 billion.Goods exports fell $1.9 billion to $548.0 billion, weighed down by nonmonetary gold, though exports of capital and consumer goods increased. Exports of services increased $11.7 billion to $314.2 billion.The goods trade deficit narrowed to $267.4 billion from $270.4 billion in the prior quarter.Receipts of primary income increased $16.3 billion to $395.2 billion, led by a rise in direct investment income. Payments of primary income advanced $5.3 billion to $390.0 billion.Receipts of secondary income decreased $2.0 billion to $44.4 billion. Payments of secondary income declined $2.1 billion to $97.9 billion as general government transfers decreased.
