Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited, whose earlier 45.5 million GSM line tender was cut to half, will invite fresh bids for installing up to 50 million lines to expand its cellular capacity.
"I am told that they are ready to go for a larger tender ... 40-50 million lines.. I suggested to give more strength to BSNL... another process must be completed in the stipulated time, may be within 8-9 months," Telecom Minister A Raja told newspersons in New Delhi on Tuesday.
