TCS bags ₹2,903 cr add-on order from BSNL for 4G rollout across 18,685 sites
Mumbai: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has secured an additional Advance Purchase Order (APO) worth approximately ₹2,903 crore from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) as part of the state-owned telecom operator’s nationwide 4G rollout.
In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, TCS said it will handle the planning, engineering, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and annual maintenance of 4G mobile network infrastructure across 18,685 sites, Financial Express reported.
BSNL will issue detailed purchase orders after specific conditions and documentation are met, the company added.
This latest order builds on the significant ₹15,000-crore APO awarded to a TCS-led consortium in 2023 for the pan-India deployment of BSNL’s 4G network.
Tejas Networks, a key partner in the consortium, is supplying the radio access network (RAN) equipment.
The announcement comes close on the heels of TCS’s Q4 FY25 earnings, in which the company reported a 1.7% year-on-year drop in net profit to ₹12,224 crore due to margin pressures.
Revenue for the quarter rose 5.3% to ₹64,479 crore.
For the full fiscal year, TCS posted a net profit of ₹48,553 crore and revenue of ₹2,55,324 crore, reflecting a 5.99% annual growth.
The latest APO strengthens TCS’s role in bolstering India’s digital infrastructure and expanding the footprint of indigenous telecom services.
