Reliance Jio Infocomm (RJIL) has signed a deal with BSNL for leasing around 4,000 mobile towers.
As per the deal, BSNL will offer a base rate of Rs 38,000 per month for ground-based towers (GBT), and Rs 24,900 per month for rooftop-based towers (RBT).
The rent for ground towers will be Rs 35,000 per month, and Rs 21,000 per month for rooftop towers if Reliance Jio commits leasing of 1,500 towers in the first year.
Reliance Jio already has an agreement with Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications, Viom Network, American Tower Company, and Ascend Telecom Infrastructure to utilise their infrastructure.
RJIL is the first telecom operator in India to get a unified licence for all 22 service areas in India. The unified licence will allow RJIL to offer all telecom services, including voice telephony.
The company holds pan-India broadband wireless access spectrum that can be used for 4G services. Besides, it won radio waves in the 1,800 MHz band, widely known as 2G spectrum, which is also being used for 4G services worldwide.
