Spanco Telesystems & Solutions, TVS Interconnect Systems and Acme Tele Power have been shortlisted by BSNL for executing its proposed Rs 30,000 crore infrastructure contract. Besides, GTL and KEC are in the second and third positions, enabling them to get 25 per cent of the total contract.
Spanco was the lowest bidder for the west zone, TVS for south, Acme Tele Power for north and east for the passive cellular infrastructure (tower) contract. The final decision is likely to be taken shortly. BSNL would be spending around Rs 7,500 crore per zone. In case Spanco and TVS win the bid they would get contract worth Rs 7,500 crore, and Acme Tele Power Rs 15,000 crore of business.
The scope of contract includes building and maintenance of passive cellular infrastructure including towers, shelters, diesel generators, and air-conditioning and associated services.
Meanwhile, GTL has emerged as the second lowest bidder (L2) in west and north zones, and the third lowest (L3) in the east zone. KEC is believed to be L2 in the west zone. Under the BSNL contract, 50 per cent of the total contract will be awarded to L1, while the remaining 50 per cent would be spilt between L2 and L3 bidders. GTL is estimated to get around Rs 5,500 crore worth of business.
