NEW DELHI: Vodafone Idea recently awarded a network gear order of around Rs 200 crore to Chinese company ZTE, sources said. The company has given orders for broadband equipment in telecom circles of Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh-Chhattisgarh, sources said.
The matter has been brought to the notice of the National Security Council Secretariat (NSCS), they added. An emailed query sent to Vodafone Idea elicited no response.
The Cabinet Committee on Security on December 16, 2020, approved the National Security Directive on Telecommunication Sector, which mandates service providers to purchase equipment from trusted sources. All works related to the directive are carried through the trusted telecom portal. The directive, however, does not affect annual maintenance contracts or updates to existing equipment already inducted before the directive.agencies
