Roadmap 3.0
In succession of the TSDSI Standardization Roadmap 1.0 (2018-2020) and 2.0 (2021-2023), the Roadmap 3.0 has been approved by the TSDSI governing council for the time horizon 2024 – 2026.
This technology roadmap is intended to guide TSDSI in aligning its work with global trends as well as towards vision of ensuring that digital communication standards increasingly drive domestic economic and policy activities and enhance India’s competitiveness for Information and communication technologies (ICT) goods and services in global markets. It also aims to create leadership position through India’s participation and contribution to emerging digital communication standards in global SDOs.
Annual Report – ( 2024-25)
As India’s Telecom SDO, TSDSI has the mandate to develop, promote, contribute and maintain India centric requirements, besides actively working with 3GPP, ITU and other institutions in the advancement of telecom technologies. Details of important work and activities carried out during 2024-25 are available in the Annual Report.
Study of 5G and 6G Beyond Network Security Architecture to support Multilevel End-to-End User Plane Security -March 2026
This Technical Report (TR) analyses the security gaps of existing 3GPP standards to secure user plane traffic and end user equipment. It also proposes different approaches and architectures to provide end-to-end security for user plane traffic.
Study of RIS empowered end-to-end application scenario with a focus on UE controlled and private deployments: Technical, cost-model and ownership aspects
This document studies RIS empowered end-to-end application scenarios with a focus on UE controlled and deployments in private networks. The study considers different technical considerations of the end-to-end deployment under different scenarios with RIS in the last-mile with a comparison against other possible choices, the possible cost-models. It also considers the concerns related to different RIS ownership possibilities and the issues associated with those.
AI Driven Massive Digital Twinning Framework for Networks
This study culminates in a set of architectural recommendations and calls for formal standardization under TSDSI to enable scalable, AI-native Massive Digital Twinning as a foundational capability for future 5G/6G networks.
Enablement of Common Edge Connectivity for Public Utility Purposes February 2026
This Technical Report analyses existing edge computing solutions with reference to the relevant use-cases. It highlights the key issues in enabling common edge connectivity across multiple MNOs for processing at the edge by conducting a gap analysis between existing standards and emerging requirements. In addition, the report summarises the current architecture and reviews existing solutions that may also need to evolve to provide common edge connectivity and federation support, including consideration for Non-Terrestrial Networks.
White Paper on Automated Electric Road Transportation January 2026
This White Paper proposes the deployment of Automated Electric Vehicles (AEVs) through a use-case driven approach to address the identified challenges. Twelve use cases, broadly categorized under Platooning, ADAS-specific applications, and Satellite Communications have been described. The paper identifies gaps in current standards and infrastructure, along with suggested solution directions.
Whitepaper on Innovation for Sustainable Urban Living: Insights into Smart City Solutions
The white paper examines various smart city specific solutions, standards, existing sandbox environments, and living labs. It covers a wide spectrum of IoT/M2M aspects, advancements, and recommendations. The white paper was championed by a seasoned smart city expert backed by a team of eminent members from industry, academia, and reputed organisations.
White Paper on 6G Use Cases and Enabling Technologies
5G design has been primarily motivated by what is termed as eMBB (enhanced mobile broadband) and is still mobile/smart phone-centric with an afterthought to accommodate IoT devices. In 6G, it is anticipated that Smart phones will only be one of the device types; CPEs, Cameras, AR/VR devices, IoT devices (Industrial, civic etc.) and other device categories will be more predominant than smart phones.

The scope of the technical report includes control and safety aspects of railway communications, and enhanced connectivity services such as voice and broadband data services for passengers on-board trains and at railway stations, improved passenger information systems, etc.
TSDSI TR 6052 V1.0.0
PQC in Embedded System to Secure the Connected Devices
January 2026
This study focuses on securing devices designed with classical architectures against quantum threats by following cybersecurity best practices. Specifically, it involves implementing a Root-of-Trust through integration of a Tamper-Proof environment (Secure Element), along with generating a Unique Device Identity (Device Fingerprint) using the NIST-recommended post-quantum cryptographic standard FIPS 203.
