Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) which is gearing up to launch its 4G services on pan-India basis, has no plans to increase its tariffs, Sandeep Govil, the company’s board director said.
He chaired a meeting in Chennai on Monday for the entire south zone to discuss the timelines for the commercial rollout of 4G services.
“Our tariffs will be competitive. There are no plans as of now to increase the tariffs,” Mr. Govil told reporters. BSNL has placed orders with Tata Consultancy Services and ITI Limited for the supply and commissioning of 4G indigenous core and 1 lakh 4G Base Transceiver Station (BTS) towers. A release said the total cost of the order is ₹19,000 crore. A consortium of firms -- TCS (for software support and system integration), CDOT (for core technology) and Tejas (for radio network) --was picked by BSNL for its 4G project.
