BSNL recommends Tata Group’s Tejas Networks to supply 4G devices
By MYBRANDBOOK
State-owned Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) Board has recommended Tejas Network, a part of Tata Group, to deploy 1 lakh network sites to launch 4G services in the country. The telco will send its purchase order to the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) for approval, following which DoT will send it to the Group of Ministers (GoM) to seek clearance.
Tejas Network has been chosen as a vendor by BSNL to supply 4G equipment for 1 lakh sites. It would cost a sum of `24,556.37 crore that includes network gear cost of about Rs 13,000 crore, as well as third-party items and a 10-year annual maintenance contract (AMC).
This development comes as good news for the telco as it will speed up its 4G rollout, which has been delayed for years. While private telcos are updating their network to 5G, BSNL is still using 2G and 3G networks.
Besides Tejas Network, HFCL (partners Pertsol and Mavenir), L&T (partners Pertsol and Mavenir), Tech Mahindra (partners Pertsol and Sterlite) have shown interest in the contract. But these firms have failed to submit proof of concept (PoC). In the Budget 2023-24, the Centre allocated `52,937 crore to BSNL, which includes installation of new towers and technology upgrade to 4G and 5G. In July 2022, Cabinet cleared a Rs 1.64 lakh crore package for BSNL and MTNL following the Rs 69,000 crore rescue plan in 2019.
