TCS Bags Over Rs 2,900-Crore Order From BSNL For 4G Expansion
IT major Tata Consultancy Services Ltd. has received an add-on advance purchase order worth Rs 2,903.22 crore from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. for the end-to-end planning, execution and annual maintenance of a 4G mobile network across 18,685 sites, as per an exchange filing on Wednesday.
Detailed purchase orders will be issued by BSNL in due course, subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions and documentation as mentioned in the APO, added the filing.
The company had recently cut variable pay of its senior employees for the third consecutive quarter, as per people aware of the matter. The development comes as the IT industry at large has been delaying issuing variable payouts amid no significant margin growth. Variable pay is a performance-linked incentive, paid out on a quarterly basis, depending on the employee and organisation's performance in the specific quarter.
