Telecommunications ITI bags Rs 1,233-cr BSNL network order Our Bureau
Bangalore , July 13 ITI Ltd, the public sector telecom manufacturer, has bagged an order worth Rs 1,233 crore to set up GSM mobile network of four million lines in four BSNL circles in the West Zone. The order is expected to help ITI achieve its targeted turnover of Rs 3,500 crore for the current fiscal. The company already has orders worth Rs 1,500 crore for various other projects. According to a spokesman, ITI would undertake the task on a turnkey basis and complete the work in the next 10 months. Alcatel CIT, its technology partner, would be its equipment supplier. An order for one million lines valued at Rs 300 crore, which was received last year, is currently in an advanced stage of completion. ITI, which recently started the manufacture of GSM mobile equipment at its Mankapur plant, would account for 54 per cent of the supplies of equipment such as base transreceiver System (BTS), power plants and other accessories, while Alcatel would supply mobile switching centre, base station controller and other equipment for the project. ITI, which upgraded its infrastructure for producing GSM equipment with an initial capacity of one million lines at its Mankapur plant, plans to expand the capacity to three million lines. This, it hopes, would help the company step up its revival efforts. The new facility has been created with an investment of Rs 43 crore. A similar facility was being set up at its Rae Bareli plant, which would increase the overall capacity to six million lines per year. Together, these plants would serve the BSNL order for three million lines, comprising 3,100 base stations equipment. The Rae Bareli plant was geared to supply shelters and power plants, the spokesman said.
