C-DoT generates ₹1,000 crore revenue this fiscal year: Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani

NEW DELHI: The Centre for Development of Telematics ( C-DoT ) has generated a revenue of ₹1,000 crore to date in the fiscal year 2025-26, indicating the competitiveness of its products, Minister of State for Communications Chandra Sekhar Pemmasani said on Thursday. 'Even though you are given ₹400 crores as the budget this year (FY26), you are able to generate close to ₹1,000 crores total. This is a testament that your products are remarkable,' Pemmasani said, addressing engineers of the state-run telecom research and development (R&D) firm. The minister said that countries are expressing interest in the C-DoT homegrown 4G Core, and added that the company's security products are relevant for global enterprises. 'Hopefully, we can sell these products in international markets. Even the security products and everything you have been developing here have a huge opportunity for outside enterprises. We should be able to get more private partnerships and sell to them,' Pemmasani said. He affirmed that the government is committed to supporting C-DoT, and urged the company's engineers to leverage data and other resources to innovate products, such as in the security domain. Pemmasani said the Central government will coordinate with C-DoT to deploy its solutions, including 4G Core and 5G Core, in commercial environments. 'How can we, instead of just staying in the lab, deploy them and test them against (solutions) of other private organisations?'. At the event, C-DoT launched the Saksham-3000 series of 400G data center switch-cum-router, with speeds of up to 25.6Tbps, to enable data center operators to cater to demand for fifth-generation (5G)-led data consumption and network virtualisation, among others.
