About BharatNet Phase-III

BharatNet is the Government of India’s flagship initiative aimed at bridging the digital divide between rural and urban India. The third phase focuses on building a robust and scalable middle-mile network using IP-MPLS technology. This infrastructure will enable seamless, high-quality broadband connectivity to rural households, supporting digital services, remote learning, e-governance and online financial systems.

Large-Scale Deployment of Tejas TJ1400 Routers

Under this project, Tejas Networks will deploy its advanced TJ1400 series of access and aggregation routers, known for their carrier-grade performance. More than 50,000 routers will be installed across 57,000 Gram Panchayats and 2,000 Blocks. The rollout will span nine states including Bihar, Goa, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Manipur, along with five union territories.

Collaboration with Leading Implementation Agencies

To execute BharatNet Phase-III at scale, Tejas Networks is partnering with five major Project Implementation Agencies: NCC, Polycab, Invenia-STL Networks, GR Infraprojects and ITI. These collaborations are expected to support smooth deployment, efficient project management and consistent network performance across challenging geographies.

Sanjay Malik, Chief Strategy and Business Officer of Tejas Networks said, “We are delighted to maintain our track record of being a leading telecom equipment partner for BharatNet deployments, as in the previous phases of this prestigious program.
