Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd.’s (BSNL) tender for 4G upgrade has been
cancelled after the Department of Telecom (DoT) asked the state-run firm
not to use Chinese telecom gear, according to a source.
The source, privy to the development, said a new tender will be floated that will have emphasis on preference to Make-in-India.
BSNL Chairman could not be reached for comments. The source said the government had told BSNL not to use Chinese equipment in 4G upgrade, and that implementation of the direction meant the firm had to issue a new tender.
