The government says an indigenous time dissemination network will make these services more secure and resilient by reducing dependence on external sources.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"12\"\/>The system distributes Indian Standard Time, traceable to India&#8217;s official time-keeping authority UTC (NPLI), using White Rabbit technology, an advanced precision timing protocol capable of delivering highly accurate synchronisation.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"15\"\/>The government believes this will improve the reliability of financial transactions, telecom services and power systems while strengthening cybersecurity and protecting critical infrastructure from disruptions.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>As part of the project, the department of consumer affairs, CSIR-NPL, Isro, Sebi, the National Stock Exchange (NSE) and BSNL have successfully completed a verification test of secure time transmission between the Bengaluru laboratory and NSE&#8217;s Chennai facility.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has said a trusted, indigenous national time source is becoming a critical piece of digital infrastructure that will support consumer protection, fair trade, cyber resilience and India&#8217;s broader digital economy.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"23\"\/>The initiative is part of the government&#8217;s push for technological self-reliance under the &#8220;Viksit Bharat&#8221;
