The Bharat Sanchar Nigam (BSNL) tender for 4G upgrade has been cancelled after the Department of Telecom (DoT) asked the state-run firm not to use Chinese telecom gear.
A new tender will be floated which will have emphasis on preference to Make in India.
The government will not use Chinese equipment in 4G upgrade, and that implementation of the direction meant that the company had to issue a new tender.
