For BSNL, Tejas Networks said it shipped equipment for over 58,000 sites during the September quarter. The BSNL's 4G-related orders to TCS dominated the India business for Tejas Networks which was 93% of the total revenue, the company said.

Tejas Networks said it is looking at major orders in the near future, including BSNL's 4G and 5G upgrade, Kavach system installation for Railways, and a private 5G application for a large enterprise in India.
The upcoming expansion of Bharatnet Phase 3 also promises to be a key opportunity for the company, Tejas said.
Going forward, Tejas Networks is betting on the continued investments in Fixed and Mobile networking technologies to boost its business. These opportunities include modernization of utility networks, investments in broadband connectivity as well as AI Data Center connectivity projects, apart from global 4G and 5G deployments.
