India has officially stopped importing internet bandwidth from Bangladesh, marking a major milestone in digital self-reliance. With BSNL leading the charge through its Swadeshi 4G rollout and 5G upgrades, the Northeastern states are now being connected through 100% indigenous infrastructure under the 4G Saturation Project.
In a landmark achievement for India’s digital journey, BSNL, in collaboration with TCS, C-DOT, and Tejas Networks, launched its fully indigenous 4G network on September 27, 2025. This Swadeshi initiative connects 26,700 additional villages and places India among the few nations with a homegrown telecom technology stack.
