Dilip Buildcon's Major Contract Win with BSNL

Dilip Buildcon Ltd witnessed a sharp rise of nearly 6% in its stock price after the company announced securing a ₹2,631.14 crore contract from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) under the BharatNet Phase-III project. The agreement aims to significantly boost broadband connectivity in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, marking a crucial step in expanding India's digital infrastructure.

Details of the BharatNet Phase-III Project

In a regulatory filing, Dilip Buildcon stated that its joint venture (JV) with STL (DBL-STL Consortium) had received an Advance Work Order (AWO) from BSNL for the project's execution. The contract is structured under the Design, Build, Operate, and Maintain (DBOM) model, ensuring long-term efficiency and upkeep.

The scope of the project includes:

• Design, supply, and construction of the middle-mile network

• Installation and upgradation of existing infrastructure

• Operation and maintenance for 10 years after completion

Dilip Buildcon will execute 70.23% of the project, demonstrating its expanding footprint in India's telecom and infrastructure sectors.

Government's Push for Digital Connectivity

The BharatNet initiative is a government-backed project aimed at enhancing broadband connectivity in rural and remote areas. This particular project is being funded through the Universal Service Obligation Fund (USOF), which is dedicated to ensuring that underserved regions get access to quality telecom services.

The impact of this project will be significant, particularly in Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, where digital infrastructure is still developing. High-speed internet access will benefit:

• Local businesses, enabling them to expand their digital footprint

• Educational institutions, improving online learning accessibility

• Government services, ensuring efficient e-governance
