[TTABSNL] BSNL'S MOBILE EXP.

 

 
 
 
HI,
 
 
BSNL's decision to disqualify telecom equipment major Nokia-Siemens from participating in its Rs 32,000-crore GSM expansion project is
held right by an independent panel of two former Chief Election Commissioners.

Two former CECs -- B B Tandon and T S Krishnamurthy -- were mandated to investigate the BSNL decision in the face of protest registered by Nokia-Siemens Network (NSN). The panel appointed by BSNL was duly approved by the Chief Vigilance Commissioner (CVC).

"BSNL's selection of other vendors is right... The panel did not find merit in NSN's argument," a senior BSNL official told PTI on a condition of anonymity.

NSN did not respond on what would be their next step. The complaint was referred to the panel after NSN, which was disqualified on technical grounds, alleged that the state-run telecom major's recent 93-million GSM lines tender was conducted in a non-transparent manner.

BSNL had chosen the bids by Ericsson and Huawei, while rejecting the offers made by three other vendors -- Nokia Siemens, ZTE and Alcatel Lucent. However, BSNL has not placed the Advanced Purchase Orders (APOs) with the respective vendors so far.

Ericsson has emerged the lowest bidder for North and Eastern regions while Huawei was selected for the Southern region. BSNL is yet to decide on Western part and it may go to the PSU ITI under reservation category
