Chinese firm ZTE wins network gear order worth Rs 200 crore from Vodafone Idea
By MYBRANDBOOK
As per media report, ZTE has bagged a network gear order of around Rs 200 crore from Vodafone Idea, three sources aware of the development said.
The sources revealed that Vodafone Idea has asked for broadband network equipment in telecom circles of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh (MP-CG).
"Vodafone Idea has awarded an order of around Rs 200 crore to ZTE," one of the sources said.
The matter has been brought to the notice of the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS), which manages the Trusted Telecom Portal and provides clearance for permissible telecom gears, they added.
According to the two sources, the order has been given for Gujarat and MP-CG circles. Adding to it, one of them said that the order also includes the Maharashtra circle.
The Cabinet Committee on Security on December 16, 2020, approved the National Security Directive on Telecommunication Sector, which mandates service providers to purchase equipment from trusted sources.
Under the provisions of this directive, the government declares a list of trusted sources and products for installation in the country's telecom network.
All works related to the directive are carried through the trusted telecom portal. The list of trusted sources and the product is decided based on the approval of a committee headed by the deputy national security advisor.
