Under the proposal, cos to share assets & buy products at preferential rates
The telecom department is for the first time planning a grand alliance between service providers BSNL and MTNL along with research body C-DoT, gear maker India Telephone Industries (ITI) and Telecommunication Consultants of India Ltd (TCIL) to ring in operational synergies among these telecom PSUs. If the plan were to translate into a reality, these companies will share their telecom assets and buy products and services at preferential rates to optimise central sector resources and withstand competition from private sector rivals.
“Details are being worked out but the mission is to create a seamless value chain where C-DoT will handle product development while ITI will do all equipment production which will eventually be bought by BSNL and MTNL,” said a senior department official. The proposal comes at a time when the telecom department is undecided about merging three lossmaking state-run entities — ITI, MTNL and BSNL — as suggested by the Board for Reconstruction of Public Sector Enterprises (BRPSE).
