PTI | August 6, 2010



Enterprise communications services provider Tulip Telecom today said it has bagged orders worth Rs 158.2 crore from Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat for providing data connectivity services.

"Tulip has been named as the network bandwidth service provider (NBSP) for deploying data connectivity services in UP and Gujarat under the R-APDRP scheme," Tulip Telecom chairman and managing director HS Bedi said.

While these projects will result in a significant reduction in energy loss, it will also allow Tulip to substantially expand its network coverage, he added.

The Restructured Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme (R-APDRP) is a flagship programme of the Indian government with a total outlay of Rs 51,577 crore.

Under the programme, IT companies would help power utilities from concept to commissioning for facilitating reduction of aggregate technical and commercial (AT&C) losses through strengthening and upgradation of the transmission and distribution network.

As part of the awarded projects, Tulip will supply, install and commission MPLS VPN, Internet and other connectivity services to all the project towns under the R-APDRP scheme floated by power corporations of UP and Gujarat.

"The projects are required to be delivered over a period of 12-18 months, and maintained over a period of five years," Bedi said.
