But a top PGCIL official rubbished the security concerns, saying the order was given to Fiberhome, which was an Indian company based in Noida, and after due diligence and clearance from the committee of grievances.
In a recent letter to PGCIL Chairman Kandikuppa Sreekant, the Telecom<\/a> Exports Promotion Council (TEPC<\/a>) said that telecom equipment coming from China could pose a \"serious threat\" to India's national security and called on the company to wind up the contract and float a fresh tender. A copy of the letter, which was reviewed by ET, was also sent to the National Security Advisor (NSA), and secretaries of power and home departments.
\"PowerGrid telecom network<\/a> is being used by various government agencies such as the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Intelligence Bureau (IB), and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO<\/a>) for transmission of critical data and information,\" the TEPC letter said.
The PGCIL executive though countered, saying a lobby was trying to ensure the tender was cancelled even at the tendering stage. “The committee of grievances had disposed off a petition of the lobby, allowing PGCIL to award the contract. The order was passed in favor of PGCIL on March 22, 2019.”
The Indian unit of Fiberhome, a Wuhan-based producer of fibre optic, had in mid-2019 bagged a pan-India fibre-based network program contract from PGCIL that aims to offer broadband services and resell bandwidth to public departments. While sources at the industry body put the contract value at Rs3,500 crore, the PGCIL executive pegged the value at Rs155 crore plus taxes.

The Indian lobby body further alleged that Fiberhome was spun off from a Chinese state-run company in 1999 after the transformation of Wuhan<\/a> Research Institute of Posts & Telecommunications. Proximity to the Chinese government has been a key reason for the US to allege that Chinese gear makers such as Huawei can be used for snooping by Beijing, a charge which the Asian country and companies located there have rejected in the past.
Washington has been pressuring its allies, including New Delhi, to bar Chinese equipment makers from 5G deployments. While some of its allies have kept the likes of Huawei and ZTE out from 5G, India is yet to take a decision.
Fiberhome's India unit and PGCIL did not respond to ET’s queries.
TEPC represents domestic companies such as Paramount Wires & Cables Limited (PWCL), Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL), Himachal Futuristic Communications Limited (HFCL), Polycab Wires & Cables, Aksh Optifibre and Finolex Cables.
TEPC alleged that Fibrehome had secured the contract through “predatory pricing” and added “not a single delivery has been made against the project till date”. It also pointed out that Fiberhome was located in Wuhan, the starting point of the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, which has led to delays in manufacturing, testing and overall supplies.
“We are told the order is ready to be despatched,” the PGCIL executive said.
In China, telecom networks are being deployed, operated, and maintained locally with no access to any Indian firm, RK Bhatnagar, telecom consultant and former director-general of TEPC, told ET. Hence, Indian firms should also invoke the 10(d) clause that allows Indian authorities to take reciprocal action against Chinese firms.
But the PGCIL official said that the Chinese imports ban under 10D came up only in February 2020, much after the contract had been given.

The Indian lobby body further alleged that Fiberhome was spun off from a Chinese state-run company in 1999 after the transformation of Wuhan<\/a> Research Institute of Posts & Telecommunications. Proximity to the Chinese government has been a key reason for the US to allege that Chinese gear makers such as Huawei can be used for snooping by Beijing, a charge which the Asian country and companies located there have rejected in the past.
Washington has been pressuring its allies, including New Delhi, to bar Chinese equipment makers from 5G deployments. While some of its allies have kept the likes of Huawei and ZTE out from 5G, India is yet to take a decision.
Fiberhome's India unit and PGCIL did not respond to ET’s queries.
TEPC represents domestic companies such as Paramount Wires & Cables Limited (PWCL), Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL), Himachal Futuristic Communications Limited (HFCL), Polycab Wires & Cables, Aksh Optifibre and Finolex Cables.
TEPC alleged that Fibrehome had secured the contract through “predatory pricing” and added “not a single delivery has been made against the project till date”. It also pointed out that Fiberhome was located in Wuhan, the starting point of the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, which has led to delays in manufacturing, testing and overall supplies.
“We are told the order is ready to be despatched,” the PGCIL executive said.
In China, telecom networks are being deployed, operated, and maintained locally with no access to any Indian firm, RK Bhatnagar, telecom consultant and former director-general of TEPC, told ET.

印度的身体寻求取消PGCIL合同安全担忧
国家电网公司电信网络被各种政府机构如国家信息中心(NIC),智慧局(IB)和国防研究与发展组织(DRDO)关键的数据和信息的传输,它引起了人们对中国公司的信中说。
新德里:一个行业集团代表国产电缆制造商寻求取消由国营multi-crore合同国家电网公司印度公司有限公司PGCIL)Fiberhome说,光纤制造商中国亲子关系与政府这一担忧国家安全。
但PGCIL高级官员驳斥了安全问题,说给Fiberhome顺序,这是一个印度公司在诺伊达,在尽职调查和申诉委员会的批准。
在最近写给PGCIL主席Kandikuppa Sreekant,电信出口促进委员会(TEPC)表示,来自中国的电信设备可以对印度构成“严重威胁”的国家安全,并要求该公司最终合同,浮动重新招标。这封信的副本,由外星人了,也发送到国家安全顾问(NSA),和秘书的权力和家庭部门。
“国家电网公司电信网络被各种政府机构如国家信息中心(NIC),智慧局(IB)和国防研究与发展组织(国防研究与发展组织)关键的数据和信息的传播,”TEPC信说。
行政PGCIL虽然反驳,说一个游说甚至试图确保投标被取消在投标阶段。“委员会游说的不满已经处理了一份请愿书,允许PGCIL授予合同。订单通过赞成PGCIL 3月22日,2019年。”
印度Fiberhome单位武汉光纤生产商,在2019年代中期袋装pan-India fibre-based网络计划合同PGCIL旨在提供宽带服务对公共部门和转售的带宽。虽然行业组织将合同金额的来源Rs3,500卢比,PGCIL执行官挂钩的价值Rs155卢比的加税。
印度游说机构进一步声称,Fiberhome于1999年从中国国有企业剥离出来后的变换武汉研究所的职位和电信。接近中国政府的一个关键原因美国声称,中国电信设备制造商华为可以用于等窥探到北京,一个电荷的亚洲国家和公司位于有拒绝了过去。
华盛顿一直敦促盟国,包括新德里,禁止中国设备制造商5 g部署。虽然一些及其盟友一直像华为和中兴从5 g,印度尚未决定。
Fiberhome印度单位和PGCIL没有回应等的查询。
TEPC代表国内企业如最重要的电线和电缆有限公司(PWCL),斯特里特锌白铜技术有限公司(STL) Himachal未来通讯有限公司(影响),Polycab电线和电缆,Aksh Optifibre和Finolex电缆。
TEPC声称Fibrehome获得合同通过“掠夺性定价”,并补充道“没有一个交付了项目至今为止”。它还指出,Fiberhome位于武汉的起点Covid-19爆发,导致延误生产,测试和整体供应。
“我们被告知订单准备派遣,“PGCIL高管表示。
在中国,电信网络部署,操作,和维护本地没有获得任何印度公司,RK博,电信顾问和TEPC前总干事告诉等。因此,印度公司也应该调用10 (d)条款,允许印度当局对中国企业采取交互作用。
但PGCIL官员说,中国进口禁令在10 d出来只有2020年2月,在合同了。
<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>NEW DELHI: An industry<\/a> group that represents homegrown cable makers has sought cancellation of a multi-crore contract awarded by state-run PowerGrid<\/a> Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL<\/a>) to Fiberhome<\/a>, saying the optic fiber maker had Chinese<\/a> parentage with links to its government which gave rise to concerns around national security.
But a top PGCIL official rubbished the security concerns, saying the order was given to Fiberhome, which was an Indian company based in Noida, and after due diligence and clearance from the committee of grievances.
In a recent letter to PGCIL Chairman Kandikuppa Sreekant, the Telecom<\/a> Exports Promotion Council (TEPC<\/a>) said that telecom equipment coming from China could pose a \"serious threat\" to India's national security and called on the company to wind up the contract and float a fresh tender. A copy of the letter, which was reviewed by ET, was also sent to the National Security Advisor (NSA), and secretaries of power and home departments.
\"PowerGrid telecom network<\/a> is being used by various government agencies such as the National Informatics Centre (NIC), Intelligence Bureau (IB), and Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO<\/a>) for transmission of critical data and information,\" the TEPC letter said.
The PGCIL executive though countered, saying a lobby was trying to ensure the tender was cancelled even at the tendering stage. “The committee of grievances had disposed off a petition of the lobby, allowing PGCIL to award the contract. The order was passed in favor of PGCIL on March 22, 2019.”
The Indian unit of Fiberhome, a Wuhan-based producer of fibre optic, had in mid-2019 bagged a pan-India fibre-based network program contract from PGCIL that aims to offer broadband services and resell bandwidth to public departments. While sources at the industry body put the contract value at Rs3,500 crore, the PGCIL executive pegged the value at Rs155 crore plus taxes.

Proximity to the Chinese government has been a key reason for the US to allege that Chinese gear makers such as Huawei can be used for snooping by Beijing, a charge which the Asian country and companies located there have rejected in the past.
Washington has been pressuring its allies, including New Delhi, to bar Chinese equipment makers from 5G deployments. While some of its allies have kept the likes of Huawei and ZTE out from 5G, India is yet to take a decision.
Fiberhome's India unit and PGCIL did not respond to ET’s queries.
TEPC represents domestic companies such as Paramount Wires & Cables Limited (PWCL), Sterlite Technologies Limited (STL), Himachal Futuristic Communications Limited (HFCL), Polycab Wires & Cables, Aksh Optifibre and Finolex Cables.
TEPC alleged that Fibrehome had secured the contract through “predatory pricing” and added “not a single delivery has been made against the project till date”. It also pointed out that Fiberhome was located in Wuhan, the starting point of the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, which has led to delays in manufacturing, testing and overall supplies.
“We are told the order is ready to be despatched,” the PGCIL executive said.
In China, telecom networks are being deployed, operated, and maintained locally with no access to any Indian firm, RK Bhatnagar, telecom consultant and former director-general of TEPC, told ET. Hence, Indian firms should also invoke the 10(d) clause that allows Indian authorities to take reciprocal action against Chinese firms.
But the PGCIL official said that the Chinese imports ban under 10D came up only in February 2020, much after the contract had been given.
