Huawei bags new contract from Airtel as border tension eases
- Tuesday | 9th March, 2021
Huawei has managed to secure a wireline network contract worth Rs 300 crore ($40 million) from India’s second-largest telco, Bharti Airtel. The latest contract brings a much-needed respite to the Chinese telecom equipment maker, which has lost significant business from the Sunil Mittal-led telecom operator in the last 15-18 months. Interestingly, the latest contract was finalised when the Sunil Mittal-led had floated a request for proposal (RFP) to replace Huawei from its national long distance (NLD) network. India’s second-largest telco, Bharti Airtel, has been reducing its exposure to both Huawei and ZTE by replacing them with Ericsson and Nokia. Both Chinese vendors have a high wireline market share with Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea.
