n The domestic telecom gear-makers have welcomed the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL)’s move to give preference to Indian companies in its network upgradation and expansion project.

Terming the move as the right direction in fulfilling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s initiative of making ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) on Sunday said that it would ensure level-playing field for all indigenous technologies and also strengthen India’s cyber security preparedness.

In his letter to Telecom Secretary Anshu Prakash, PHDCCI Telecom Committee’s Mentor and Co-Chairman of Telecom Export Promotion Council, Sandeep Aggarwal has said it was a bold “Vocal for Local” decision to make “Atmanirbhar Bharat”.
