ITI Limited bags ₹167 crore E-Governance contract in Maharashtra
State-owned telecom equipment manufacturer ITI Limited has secured a ₹167 crore contract from Maharashtra’s Rural Development Department to implement the Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendra (ASSK) project across multiple regions in the state, the company announced today.
The shares of ITI Limited were trading at ₹352 down by ₹14.45 or 3.94 per cent on the NSE today at 1.33 pm.
The contract involves setting up and operating ASSK centers in Gram Panchayats across Chatrapathi Sambhaji Nagar, Nagpur, and Amaravati regions. The scope includes system maintenance for one year and deployment of technical manpower at these centers.
ITI’s Chairman and Managing Director Rajesh Rai said the project would help strengthen the Panchayati Raj System by enabling digital citizen services in rural areas. The initiative aims to enhance transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in e-governance services.
ITI Limited, India’s first post-independence PSU in the telecom sector, operates six manufacturing facilities across India with an R&D center in Bengaluru. The company has diversified beyond its traditional telecom equipment manufacturing into defense, railways, solar equipment, and IT services. It currently runs a data center in Bengaluru, serving government institutions and banks.
The project marks a significant step in Maharashtra’s digital governance initiatives at the grassroots level, while also strengthening ITI’s position in the e-governance sector.
