Polycab India Limited has secured a significant contract with Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) to serve as the Project Implementation Agency (PIA) for Bharat Net's middle-mile network in the Bihar Telecom Circle. This agreement, designated as Package No. 7, entails the comprehensive design, supply, construction, installation, upgradation, operation, and maintenance of the network. The total contract value is Rs 3,002.99 crores, inclusive of GST, and is segmented into a capital expenditure (Capex) of Rs 1,549.66 crores, operational expenditure (Opex) for the newly constructed network of Rs 929.79 crores, and Opex for the existing network of Rs 523.53 crore.

The contract, awarded by the domestic entity BSNL, dictates a three-year construction period followed by a ten-year maintenance phase. The maintenance costs are structured at 5.5 per cent per annum of the Capex for the initial five years and 6.5 per cent per annum for the subsequent five years. This project underscores Polycab's role in bolstering India's digital infrastructure, contributing to the Bharat Net initiative's goal of providing broadband connectivity to rural areas. The agreement is governed by general contract conditions, and the project is entirely domestic.
