The minister said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is very clear that the government company will not use anyone else’s equipment. Scindia said that now we have a main and a radio access network, which is fully functional. We have a plan of one lakh sites by April-May next year. We have started 38,300 sites till yesterday. He said that we are going to start our own 4G network, which will move to 5G by June 2025. We will be the sixth country in the world to do so.

BSNL is using 4G technology developed by a joint venture between state-owned C-DoT and domestic IT company TCS. Scindia said India implemented the fastest 4G to 5G technology in the world with the installation of 4.5 lakh towers in 22 months and the service is available to 80 percent of the country’s population. For the launch of BSNL 5G services, existing sites will be slightly modified and their software will be upgraded.
