Digital push: BSNL, NRL sign pact; will launch India's first 5G CNPN in refinery sector
Representative image Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited ( BSNL ) and Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) have signed a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to deploy India's first 5G Captive Non-Public Network (CNPN) in the refinery sector, marking a major step towards industrial digital transformation. The MoU was inked during the 'Industry 4.0 Workshop for CPSEs' held under the aegis of the ministry of finance in Guwahati. As per news agency ANI, the event saw participation from key officials, including the secretary of the Department of Public Enterprises (DPE), CMD of NRL, director (Enterprise Business) of BSNL, MD of AMTRON, and senior officials from various Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs). Under the agreement, BSNL and NRL will collaborate on implementing a secure, ultra-reliable, and real-time 5G CNPN using indigenous infrastructure to support mission-critical operations. The move is expected to enhance operational efficiency and drive innovation through the adoption of cutting-edge Industry 4.0 technologies like IoT, Digital Twins, AI-based 3D printing, AR/VR/MR, and Big Data Analytics. CMD of NRL said the 5G CNPN deployment would be a 'game-changing moment' for India's refinery sector, enabling advanced tools such as real-time IoT, AR/VR-based training, and virtual formulation, as per ANI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This new air conditioner cools down a room in just seconds News of the Discovery Undo BSNL CMD A Robert J Ravi described the partnership as a technological leap forward.

Papa Sudhakara Rao, BSNL director (Enterprise Business), said the collaboration marks a 'historic milestone' in accelerating 5G and Industry 4.0 adoption across the industrial ecosystem, as per news agency PTI.

He emphasised that such partnerships can promote skill development, create jobs, and foster industrial modernisation — particularly in the North East.

L&T terminated contracts of suburban rail project illegally, says K-RIDE
Press Trust of India Bengaluru The termination of two contracts for Corridor-2 and Corridor-4 of the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP) by Indian multinational conglomerate Larsen & Toubro is a clear violation of agreement conditions, said officials of K-RIDE, a joint venture between the government of Karnataka and the Ministry of Railways, on Saturday. L&T had terminated the contract on July 31, added K-RIDE. "L&T has made unreasonable demands of revising contract price within the contract period and converting EPC contract into an itemised Bill of Quantities (BOQ) contract, even though contract condition does not permit the same," stated a press release issued by K-RIDE on Saturday. According to the release, L&T had entered into two agreements to perform the work assigned to them in the Corridor-2 (Chikkabanavara to Benniganahalli) and Corridor-4 (Heelalige to Rajankunte) of the suburban railway project, added the release. Originally, the scheduled completion time for Corridor-2 (C2) was 27 months, but was extended up to September 30, 2026. The agreement entered upon for Corridor-4 (C4) is valid till October 2026. K-RIDE officials said all reasonable demands of L&T were addressed by them as per the provisions of the contract. "The contract permits extension of the period for delay in availability of the land by K-RIDE. But L&T has opted to terminate the contract unilaterally and illegally," said the release. The claims, said K-RIDE, had been referred to the Amicable Settlement Committee, as per the provision of the contract. The work front available to L&T is about 84 per cent of the total corridor length of C2 and 17 km in C4, said the release. "However, the progress achieved by L&T so far in C2 and C4 are not commensurate with the available work front, which exposes L&T's failures in carrying out the work, which is citing non-availability of work front as reason," added the press release. According to K-RIDE, work was delayed because L&T failed to mobilise adequate resources and there was a delay in finalising designs. It also said that the project managers of L&T were frequently changed, affecting the progress of work. There was no immediate reaction from L&T.
