On September 27, 2025, India marked a historic milestone in its telecommunications journey with the launch of BSNL’s indigenous 4G network, spearheaded by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Powered by homegrown technology from the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT), this 5G-ready infrastructure spans over 97,500 towers, delivering secure, scalable, and high-speed connectivity across the nation.

This “Swadeshi 4G” initiative is a cornerstone of the Atmanirbhar Bharat vision, reducing India’s dependence on foreign telecom equipment and showcasing the country’s technological prowess. The network promises robust performance, enhanced security, and affordability, making digital access more inclusive for millions. From rural heartlands to urban centers, BSNL’s rollout aims to bridge the digital divide, empowering communities with reliable internet for education, business, and innovation.

The launch has sparked widespread enthusiasm, with #Swadeshi4G trending on social media platforms like X, reflecting national pride in this achievement. As India gears up for a 5G future, BSNL’s indigenous network sets the stage for a self-reliant, digitally empowered nation.
