Tata Communications, a leading global communications technology player, today announced the successful deployment of its digital infrastructure solutions to power Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited’s (BSNL) newly launched eSIM services for millions of subscribers across India.
Tata Communications is powering BSNL’s eSIM services through its state-of-the-art, GSMA accredited eSIM Subscription Management platform — Tata Communications MOVE™ — delivered by Tata Communications Collaboration Services Private Ltd. (TCCSPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Communications Ltd. This platform will enable BSNL to facilitate eSIM provisioning for their pan-India mobile subscribers.
The launch of BSNL’s eSIM services is a big step towards enhancing customer experience and future proofing mobile connectivity in India with increased convenience, flexibility and security in cellular services. Powered by Tata Communications MOVE™, BSNL eSIMs will enable remote provisioning of 2G/3G/4G connectivity service through a secure QR code, eliminating the need for a physical SIM. Moreover, users with devices supporting dual-SIM functionality can use an eSIM alongside a physical SIM, making it easier to securely connect with any local operator while travelling abroad.
A.S. Lakshminarayanan, MD and CEO, Tata Communications, said: “We are honoured to partner with BSNL to bring secure, scalable, and future-ready eSIM services to millions of citizens and enabling India’s shift towards next-generation connectivity. This collaboration reflects Tata Communications’ commitment to driving digital innovation and supporting sovereign infrastructure. Together, we are laying the foundation for a more connected and resilient India.”
A Robert Ravi, Chairman and Managing Director, BSNL said: “The launch of Pan-India eSIM service represents a strategic advancement in our national telecom capabilities. With Tata Communications’ strong connectivity experience and forward-looking innovation, we are enhancing the flexibility, security, and efficiency of mobile services for citizens across India. It aligns with our commitment to fostering digital independence and ensuring robust infrastructure for the future.”
This partnership fosters Tata Communications’ commitment to support the Government’s vision of Digital India. While currently the launch is focussed on consumers, the Tata Communications MOVE™ platform is designed to scale for enterprise IoT applications supporting digital transformation of Indian enterprises.
