Tejas Networks Ltd is set to supply equipment valued at ₹15.26 billion to Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) as part of the ambitious Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) 4G network expansion, marking a significant milestone for India’s indigenous telecom ecosystem.

Key Highlights:

Major Supply Order: Tejas Networks will deliver 4G/5G Radio Access Network (RAN) equipment worth ₹15.26 billion to TCS, forming a crucial part of the larger BSNL 4G network contract. This builds on the company’s track record, having already completed supply for over 100,000 BSNL sites under a ₹7,492 crore deal led by TCS.
Consortium Success: The TCS-led consortium, which includes Tejas Networks and C-DOT, is executing one of the world’s largest single-vendor RAN deployments, positioning BSNL for rapid nationwide 4G and future 5G services.
Indigenous Technology Drive: The project leverages Tejas Networks’ cutting-edge, locally developed telecom solutions, supporting the government’s ‘Make in India’ push and reducing reliance on foreign technology.
Strategic Partnerships: Tejas Networks recently announced collaborations with global players like NEC Corporation Japan to co-develop advanced wireless and core network technologies, further enhancing its innovation pipeline.
Market Impact: The successful execution of this order cements Tejas Networks’ reputation as a leading supplier for large-scale telecom projects and is expected to drive strong revenue growth, with the company reporting a more than threefold jump in annual revenues for FY25.
BSNL’s Digital Leap: BSNL’s 4G services, powered by this indigenous supply chain, are slated for launch in June 2025, with a seamless upgrade path to 5G once the network stabilizes.
