In the details of the order, Tejas Networks has mentioned that the PO has to be executed in the years 2023 and 2024. This means that TCS can then take the equipment and roll it out for BSNL in 1 lakh sites in the next 18 to 24 months. The support and maintenance services for the equipment will be for a period of nine years post-warranty period.

This is a big development. The government and the BSNL management have maintained that they will launch homegrown 4G very soon. This order confirms that we can witness a 4G launch from BSNL in the next month or two. Earlier, telecom minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had said that BSNL will start rolling out 4G in 300 sites daily post-September.
