BSNL opens data centres to private players, startups under partnership policy

In a move to anchor itself in the expanding digital infrastructure ecosystem, state run-Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has opened its data centre network to private players, entrepreneurs, and startups through the recent revenue-sharing partnership policy, marking a key shift in its business strategy.

The initiative allows brownfield data centres set up by Indian firms to host government and enterprise workloads under BSNL’s umbrella, with revenues split between BSNL and its partners.
