Pace Digitek’s Subsidiary Secures ₹943.5 Million Li-Ion Battery Order from BSNL

Pace Digitek Limited, a provider of telecom infrastructure and turnkey network solutions, on Monday announced that its material subsidiary, Lineage Power Private Limited, has received a second Advance Purchase Order (APO) worth ₹943.5 million from Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) for the supply of lithium-ion battery solutions.

The order involves the supply, installation and commissioning (I&C), along with maintenance support for five years, and is aimed at strengthening BSNL’s 48V DC power infrastructure across its nationwide telecom network.

Under the agreement, Lineage Power will supply 25,000 lithium-ion battery modules of 100Ah/48V capacity, along with 2,500 IP55-rated, weather-resistant racks suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployment. The execution timeline for the project is five months from the receipt of the purchase order.

The contract also includes a five-year warranty on the supplied equipment, followed by a five-year Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC). All battery modules are equipped with integrated smart Battery Management Systems (BMS), registered on the Trusted Telecom Portal and compliant with the latest Telecommunication Engineering Centre (TEC) General Requirements (GR) standards.

Commenting on the development, Venugopal Rao Maddisetty, Chairman and Managing Director of Pace Digitek Limited, said the extended order from BSNL represents a key milestone in modernising Lineage Power’s core infrastructure. He noted that the transition to advanced lithium-ion technology will enhance energy efficiency at telecom sites and improve network uptime across India, while also supporting the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative through the deployment of trusted, world-class technology.

The order is expected to strengthen Pace Digitek’s position in the telecom power solutions segment, improve near-term order book visibility, generate long-term service revenue through post-warranty maintenance, and deepen its engagement with BSNL, a key public sector customer.
