TCS on BSNL deliveries at Earnings Conference Call, Q3 FY24

“During the quarter, we started to deliver BSNL 4G/5G network-related equipment and services, a project of national importance. We are executing this project as a system integrator partnering with other OEMs. The transformational nature of this project and the solutions delivered are enhancing TCS reputation of being a critical partner to BSNL and the Atmanirbhar vision of the Government of India.” K Krithivasan, CEO & MD, Tata Consultancy Services.

“We are approaching it from zones and circles in which we have to roll it out. We have taken up the North zone as the first milestone, and we have started to deliver equipment and services by rolling out the new radios that are stated to be delivered to BSNL in a few circles.

The data center in which the whole evolved packet core needs to be installed and operationalized that’s also been progressing well. So overall, I would say that this is the first quarter where we have delivered close to about, I would say, 2,000 sites worth of equipment, and they are in the different stages of installation and commissioning. At the same time, the data centers installations are all progressing as per plan. And it will get done over the next, let’s say, four to six quarters as we envisage. N G Subramaniam, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Director.
