TCIL May Get Kuwait Telecom Deal
Government owned engineering and consultancy company, Telecommunications Consultants India Limited (TCIL) is close to bagging a contract from Kuwait Telecommunications Company to upgrade and maintain its landline and broadband networks.
The Indian Telecom Company has emerged as the lowest bidder in Kuwait Telecom’s landline expansion and maintenance tender.
The turkey based project is valued to be around $32.8 million and the bidder will be responsible for arranging equipment supplies apart from handling network planning and maintenance elements. They will need to maintain Kuwait Telecom's 330000 line strong landline network and 90000 odd fibre-to-the-home broadband links in four of the six regions in Kuwait.
TCIL proposes to line up the required equipment and optic fibre cable (OFC) systems through its foreign and local supplier partners, including Turkey's HES Cable Systems, Saudi Cables, Tamil Nadu Telecommunications (TTL) and Aksh Optifibre.
TCIL is a Miniratna company under Ministry of Communications & IT with presence in almost 45 countries, mainly in Middle East, Africa and Europe.
