PM to Launch BSNL's Swadeshi 4G Network
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will unveil BSNL's 'Swadeshi' 4G network on September 27, marking India's entry into a coveted league of nations that produce and manufacture telecom equipment, according to a PTI report dated September 26, 2025.
The network, described as cloud-based and future-ready, can be seamlessly upgraded to 5G, according to Telecom Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia.
BSNL's 4G stack will be rolled out on September 27 across close to 98,000 sites in the country, the minister reportedly said, adding that simultaneous launch will happen across multiple states, alongside.
The Prime Minister will inaugurate the network in Jharsuguda, Odisha, while Scindia will be present for the launch in Guwahati.
"This is a new era for the telecom sector, an era where India has entered into the domain of top countries, which produce and manufacture telecom equipment, which includes Denmark, Sweden, South Korea, China...India is now the fifth country," Scindia was quoted as saying.
In addition, the PM will unveil India's 100 percent 4G saturation network under the Digital Bharat Nidhi initiative, which has connected around 29,000–30,000 villages in a mission-mode project, strengthening digital infrastructure in rural areas.
