NEW DELHI: Indian entities that will supply US-origin technology components to Chinese telecom major Huawei may face penal action under American regulations, Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said in Parliament Wednesday. He said that as per the information available till now, the Department of Commerce, USA, has added Huawei Technologies to the entity list on May 16, 2019, by amending the US Export Administration Regulations. "Huawei's inclusion in the entity list implies that US companies require prior export licence for sale of any equipment/software/technology to Huawei," Prasad said. Huawei has teamed up with Vodafone Idea to conduct 5G trials in India. He said a committee under Principal Scientific Adviser (PSA) has been constituted to give recommendations on various issues, including security, relating to 5G and technology trials in India.
