कथन

Sir, we have done BharatNet Phase-I 11.02.2026 99 and Phase-II with massive investments. With those two phases, we have connected close to 2.14 lakh gram panchayats across India. We are launching BharatNet phase-III with close to 17 billion dollars, which is around Rs. 1.40 lakh crore. Firstly, this will include connecting an additional 40,000 gram panchayats, that were not connected previously. Secondly, in addition to operate and maintain whatever the villages that we have already covered – those 2.14 lakh gram panchayats for the next 10 years – the entire 2.65 lakh gram panchayats will be connected and operated for the next 10 years. The rest of the villages can also be connected with BharatNet Phase-III based on as needed basis. If there is a request, we will be connecting those as well, Sir.
